Bis(2-ethylhexyl) Adipate
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate or DEHA is an organic compound with the formula (CH2CH2CO2C8H17)2. It is the diester of 2-ethylhexanol and adipic acid. It is a colorless oily liquid. DEHA is sometimes called " dioctyl adipate", incorrectly. Another name is di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate. Use As well as related diesters derived from octanol, decanol, isodecanol, etc., it is used as a plasticizer. DEHA is used as a hydraulic fluid, and a component of aircraft lubricants. It is sometimes also used as an ingredient in PVC-based plastic wrap. Toxicity DEHA has very low toxicity. The LD50 is estimated at 900 mg/kg (rat, i.v.). According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), it is "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity A carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide, or radiation that promotes carcinogenesis (the formation of cancer). This may be due to the ability to damage the genome or to the disruption of cellular metabolic processes. Several radioactive su ...

As well as related diesters derived from 2-ethylhexanol 2-Ethylhexanol (abbreviated 2-EH) is an organic compound with formula CHO. It is a branched, eight-carbon chiral alcohol (chemistry), alcohol. It is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. It is prod ..., decanol, isodecanol, etc., it is used as a plasticizer. DEHA is sometimes incorrectly called dioctyl adipate. Toxicity Esters of adipic acid exhibit low acute toxicities in animal models. The LD50 of the related ethylhexanoate is estimated at 900 mg/kg (rat, i.v.). References {{HealthIs
