Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Subsequently, ricinoleate plasticizer, commercially available dioctyl phthalate (DOP), and bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DOA) were added to prepare polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films for performance
Dioctyl adipate
Dioctyl adipate ( DOA) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2 CH 2 CO 2 C 8 H 17) 2. It is a colorless oily liquid. As well as related diesters derived from 2-ethylhexanol, decanol, isodecanol, etc., it is used as a plasticizer. [2] [3] DEHA is sometimes incorrectly called dioctyl adipate. Toxicity [ edit]
EcoFriendly Plasticizers IHS Chemical - IHS Markit
There are increasing concerns over the traditional plasticizers like dioctyl phthalate (DOP) on its potential migration out of PVC compounds and release to the environment or human body. The concerns have caused the industry to move towards more eco-friendly plasticizers.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
It is almost colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is very slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. while miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers used in PVC compounding. Melting point: 43°C (45°F; 230 K) Boiling point: 244-252°C at 0.7 kPa.
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate
This colorless viscous liquid is used for softening PVC plastics and is known for chemical similarity to general purpose phthalates such as DEHP and DINP, but without any negative regulatory pressure. It possesses very good plasticizing properties and may be used as a direct replacement for DEHP and DINP in many applications. Production [ edit]
- What is Dioctyl adipate?
- DOA, dioctyl adipate is a primary plasticizer. It is the most important in the adipate group, it offers a high efficiency, better flexibility properties at low temperatures and resistance to the loss of color by exposure to heat and ultraviolet light.
- What is DOTP plasticizer?
- DOTP is a primary non-phthalic plasticizer resulting from the esterification of 2 Ethyl Hexanol with Terephthalic Acid. It offers good mechanical properties and permanence. It provides excellent flexibility, good dielectric properties and similar volatility to DOP. It is suitable for cable cover, vinyl floors and other flexible applications.
- Can DOA be used in food packaging materials?
- Only slight irritation to skin and eyes, can be used in food packaging materials (such as cling film). DOA can improve the light and heat resistance of the products and reduce the degradation caused by UV rays or high temperature, which is suitable for outdoor films and coated fabrics.
- Why is DOA a good material?
- DOA maintains the flexibility and ductility of the material at low temperatures, significantly lowering the glass transition temperature of the polymer and making it suitable for plastics used in cold environments, such as frozen food packaging film and outdoor plumbing .
- What are the advantages of DOA lubrication?
- DOA can improve the light and heat resistance of the products and reduce the degradation caused by UV rays or high temperature, which is suitable for outdoor films and coated fabrics. Artificial leather and plates: Improvement of low-temperature flexibility, enhancement of surface lubrication and water resistance.
- What is adipate used for?
- It is the most important in the adipate group, it offers a high efficiency, better flexibility properties at low temperatures and resistance to the loss of color by exposure to heat and ultraviolet light. It is used in PVC applications offering better properties at low temperatures compared to phthalates.
