Mechanical and barrier properties of polyvinyl chloride
Abstract Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films were prepared by melt compounding and compression molding using epoxidized cardanol (EC), a biobased plasticizer and its plasticization...
Effects of dioctyl phthalate on the properties of poly(vinyl
Although PVC/MMT nanocomposites were studied, researchers pay less attention on PVC/O-MMT nanocomposites containing various amounts of dioctyl phthalate (DOP). DOP is an external plasticizer for PVC. Plasticizers are an important class of low molecular weight and nonvolatile compounds that are widely used in polymer industries as additives.

The following pie chart shows world consumption of plasticizers: Phthalates accounted for over 55% of world consumption of plasticizers in 2025, down from approximately 60–65% a few years ago; they are forecast to account for 50–55% of world consumption in the coming years. The decrease in market share has largely been due to the following:
Dioctyl Phthalate Plasticizers Market Report | Global
Market Overview: The global Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) plasticizers market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for DOP plasticizers from various end-use industries, such as automotive, chemical, agriculture, oil and gas, research and development (R&D), and others.
FTIR spectra of PVC films with different plasticizers: (a
In this work, we evaluated the effect of six types of plasticizers (dioctyl phthalate, dioctyl adipate, Lestarflex (a polymeric polyester plasticizer), poly-caprolactone, polyester polyol, and 1,2
- What is dioctyl phthalate (DOP)?
- Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) is a widely used industrial plasticizer, primarily utilized to enhance the flexibility and durability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. It is a colorless, oily liquid known for its excellent compatibility with a variety of polymers.
- What phthalate is used in PVC?
- Di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP, dioctyl phthalate, DOP) is the international standard PVC plasticizer, and the properties of other plasticizers are often measured against DEHP. Other general-purpose phthalates include diisononyl phthalate (DINP), di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP), and di (2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP).
- Are phthalates a good plasticizer?
- As a PVC plasticizer, phthalates generally provide excellent compatibility, favorable permeability characteristics, and a collection of performance properties that require minimal modification with other types of plasticizers to meet the demands of many applications.
