A review of common non-ortho-phthalate plasticizers for use
A new publication by Kambia et al. (2025) reported some evidence of co-stimulation of estrogenic and androgenic receptors by one of the minor metabolites of DOTP, 5-hydroxy mono-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (5-OH-MEHT), but not for the other metabolites (cf. Lessmann et al., 2016 for the human metabolism of DOTP). These in vitro and in silico
BASF begins production of Palatinol DOTP plasticizer at its
HOUSTON, TEXAS, July 18, 2017 – BASF started the production of Palatinol DOTP (dioctyl terephthalate), a general purpose plasticizer, at its Pasadena, Texas facility, with a nameplate capacity of 60,000 metric tons per year. The plant enables BASF to respond to the growing demand for non-ortho-phthalate plasticizers in North America, and strengthens its position as a reliable source for DOTP.
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.

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. In this study, we prepared DOTP from the alcoholysis of polyethylen
- 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.
