Alcoholysis of polyethylene terephthalate to produce dioctyl
Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) is a new kind of green and non-toxic plasticizer. The traditional process to prepare DOTP is costly and complicated, thus it is very necessary to find an efficient and environmentally-friendly way to obtain DOTP.

Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) is a plasticizer that can be prepared by alcoholysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with isooctyl alcohol. Application DOTP can form a composite blend with polyaniline (PANI)-ethyene dimethacrylate (EDMA), which can be used in the fabrication of conductive films.
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate
Bis (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate commonly abbreviated DEHT (Dioctyl terephthalate or DOTP), is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 8 H 17) 2. It is a non- phthalate plasticizer, being the diester of terephthalic acid and the branched-chain 2-ethylhexanol, which is referred to as octyl.

Di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT) is a U.S. EPA high production volume chemical, with production above 50 million pounds/year in the U.S. (SCENIHR, 2008). Because it can be used as a substitute for DEHP, and other regulated or restricted plasticizers, consumption volume is increasing.
Perspectives on alternatives to phthalate plasticized poly
Properties of the PVC films were explored and compared to those of petroleum-based plasticizer dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP). The results indicated that the epoxidized cardanol based phosphate ester had significantly higher thermal stability than DOTP, which could also improve thermal properties of PVC blends obviously.
- What is di-octyl terephthalate (DOTP)?
- Di-Octyl Terephthalate (DOTP) is a versatile and environmentally friendly plasticizer widely used in various industries. Its primary function is to enhance the flexibility, durability, and workability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products while offering several advantages over traditional phthalate-based plasticizers.
- What is a DOTP plasticizer?
- Its primary function is to enhance the flexibility, durability, and workability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products while offering several advantages over traditional phthalate-based plasticizers. DOTP is known for its excellent thermal stability, low volatility, and high plasticizing efficiency.
- What is DOTP used for?
- DOTP is known for its excellent thermal stability, low volatility, and high plasticizing efficiency, making it ideal for applications requiring stringent safety and regulatory compliance.DOTP finds extensive use in the production of flexible PVC products, including medical devices, toys, food packaging, and automotive interiors.
