Guide to Non-Toxic Vinyl Plank Flooring (& the Risks)
Three bio-based plasticizers could be used in PVC flooring: Isosorbide diesters produced from fatty acids of vegetable origin and isosorbide derived from glucose (Polysorb ID 37); Acetylated monoglyceride derived from hydrogenated castor oil bio-based plasticizer aka, COMGHA, (Grindsted Soft-n-Safe); Dow’s Ecolibrium plasticizer.
Palatinol DOTP
Palatinol DOTP Palatinol DOTP can be used in a broad range of applications as an alternative to general purpose ortho-phthalates, where good processing characteristics are needed and the finished product requires improved low temperature flexibility and low volatility.

TI/N-CPN/IP Palatinol DOTP e / April 2025 Page 3 of 4 Palatinol DOTP . Internal . Description . Palatinol DOTP is a plasticizer based upon 2-Ethylhexanol. It is compatible with both homopolymer and copolymer vinyl resins. Palatinol DOTP is used primarily to plasticize vinyl resin where good processing characteristics are needed and
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.
Hanwha Chemical Produces Next-generation Eco-friendly
Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) plasticizers are used as an alternative, but done so at the expense of product quality. The new eco-friendly plasticizer ECO-DEHCH from Hanwha, however, is not short on quality and it is safe for humans.
- What is the difference between a plasticizer DOP and a DOTP?
- Compared with the traditional plasticizer DOP, DOTP has less volatility loss and higher stability in long-term use, reducing material aging problems caused by plasticizer migration. High volume resistivity (up to 1×10⁹Ω-m or more), especially suitable for wire and cable insulation materials to ensure electrical safety.
- Is DOP a good plasticizer?
- NO. 1.DOTP is a sort of high-performance primary plasticizer with good electrothermal properties. Its volume resistivity is ten-twenty times of DOP’s. Good plasticating effect and low volatility on cable materials makes it be widely used on the heat-resisting, high insulation product.
- What is DOP plasticizer used for?
- Its volume resistivity is ten-twenty times of DOP’s. Good plasticating effect and low volatility on cable materials makes it be widely used on the heat-resisting, high insulation product. It is the ideal plasticizer for the production of 70 degrees C. cable material and other volatility-resist PVC products.
- Does DOTP contain phthalates?
- DOTP does not contain phthalates, in line with the EU REACH and other international regulations on the restriction of hazardous substances, safer for human beings and the environment, especially for food packaging, medical devices and other sensitive areas.
- What is DOTP used for?
- DOTP is the plasticizer of choice for high-temperature resistant cables (e.g., 70°C class cables), and is widely used as a sheathing material for power transmission and communication cables due to its low volatility and high electrical insulation properties.
