Professional R&D and excellent quality plasticizer chemicals

Dioctyl Phthalate is one of the most widely used plasticizers in PVC due to its low cost. DOP is a general-purpose plasticizer and long-time industry standard known for its good stability to heat and ultraviolet light, and broad range of compatibility for use with PVC resins. Dioctyl Phthalate can also be used as dielectric and hydraulic fluids.

Product description. Eastman DOP Plasticizer (Bis (2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate) is a light colored, low volatility, odorless liquid. It is the most widely used all-purpose plasticizer offered by Eastman for use with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins. It is insoluble in water and has a viscosity of 56 cP at 25°C.

Eastman TOTM plasticizer (Tris (2-Ethylhexyl) Trimellitate) is the ideal PVC plasticizer for use in applications where low volatility is of supreme importance, such as wire and cable insulation and interior automotive. It also has properties that are required for dishwasher gaskets and photograph storage.

Dioctyl phthalate (also known as DEHP or di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate) is a type of phthalate, which is a class of chemicals that are used as plasticizers to make plastics more flexible and durable. DEHP is commonly used in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic products, such as pipes, wire and cable coatings, and inflatable products.

While phthalate esters such as DEHP are the most widely used plasticizers for flexible PVC medical compounds and have been for 50 years, issues concerning their possible effects on human health have caused some device manufacturers to consider compounds containing alternative plasticizers. Sometimes the pressure to do so is considerable.
