Description

Diethyl adipate is a film-forming polymer that is used in the production of polyurethanes. It is produced by reacting diethyl ether with adipic acid, which creates a hydroxyl group on the molecule. Diethyl adipate has been shown to be chemically stable and can be used as a surface methodology for the detection of fatty acids in human serum. The film-forming properties of diethyl adipate allow it to be used as a coating agent for various surfaces such as paper, textiles, and plastics. When exposed to air, diethyl adipate undergoes oxidation reactions catalyzed by chlorine or hydrochloric acid, producing nitrogen oxides and water vapor. Diethyl adipate has three different chemical structures: one with two hydroxyl groups (-OCH2-), one with one hydroxyl group (-OCH-) and one without hydroxyl groups (-O-).
