Used primarily as a plasticizer in specialty polymer formulations, this compound enhances flexibility and workability of coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. It is particularly effective in low-temperature applications due to its ability to improve cold resistance without compromising mechanical strength. Its branched alkoxy-ester structure provides good solubility in polar matrices and contributes to improved UV stability in outdoor-grade materials. Commonly found in wire and cable insulation, automotive seals, and flexible films where moderate migration resistance and processing stability are required.
