Dioctyl Phthalate : DOP

The Essential Plasticizer for Flexible PVC Solutions

Transform your PVC applications with Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP), the industry-standard plasticizer that brings optimal flexibility and durability to your plastic products.

Understanding DOP (Dioctyl Phthalate)

DOP, also known as DEHP (Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate), stands as the most widely used plasticizer in the PVC industry. This clear, oily liquid works by positioning itself between PVC polymer chains, enhancing flexibility and processability. Its excellent compatibility with PVC and cost-effectiveness makes it the preferred choice for manufacturers seeking reliable plasticizing solutions. The material's low volatility ensures long-lasting flexibility in end products, while its excellent heat stability contributes to smooth processing.

DOP Classifications

General Purpose Grade

Our standard DOP grade offers excellent all-round performance with minimum 99.5% purity. This grade provides ideal plasticity for common PVC applications, featuring low volatility and excellent heat stability. Perfect for general-purpose PVC products requiring standard flexibility and durability.

Premium Grade

Premium grade DOP, with 99.8% minimum purity, delivers superior color stability and minimal volatility. This grade is specifically engineered for applications demanding highest quality standards, such as medical tubing and sensitive applications where exceptional clarity and durability are essential.

Technical Grade

Designed for industrial applications, our technical grade DOP maintains 99% minimum purity. This grade offers reliable performance in less demanding applications where slight color variation is acceptable, making it a cost-effective choice for industrial products.

Food Grade

Specially purified to meet strict food contact regulations, our food-grade DOP ensures safe use in food packaging applications. This grade undergoes additional quality controls and testing to meet international food safety standards.

Applications in Modern Industry

DOP's versatility shines across numerous industrial applications. In the cable industry, it serves as the primary plasticizer for creating flexible PVC cables and wires, ensuring long-term performance even under challenging conditions. The material's excellent electrical properties make it ideal for both power and communication cables.

The flooring sector extensively uses DOP in PVC floor coverings, where it provides the perfect balance of flexibility and wear resistance. From domestic vinyl flooring to commercial PVC tiles, DOP ensures products maintain their flexibility and appearance throughout their service life.

Medical applications rely on DOP's proven performance record. Blood bags, medical tubing, and various healthcare products benefit from its excellent compatibility with PVC and stability during sterilization processes. The material's low extraction characteristics make it suitable for these sensitive applications.

In artificial leather manufacturing, DOP plays a crucial role in achieving the right texture and flexibility. The material's ability to provide consistent plasticity helps manufacturers create leather-like products that maintain their properties over time.
