Brief Introduction of Performance and Uses of DOP

Dioctyl (o-) phthalate, for short,DOP.

DOP is an important and general primary plasticizer, chiefly used in the processing of PVC resin and high polymers such as chemical resin, acetic acid resin, ABS resin, rubber and also in the production of lacquer, dyestuff and dispersant,etc.

DOP of general grade is widely used in the industry of plastic, rubber, oilpaint and emulsifying agent. PVC plasticized by it can be used in the manufacture of artificial leather, agricultral film, packaging material and cables,ect.

Apart from having all the properties of general grade DOP, electrical grade DOP also has excellent electrical insulation and is chiefly used in the production of wires and cables.

DOP of food grade is mostly used in the production of packaging material.

DOP of pharmaceutical grade is mainly used in the manufacture of medical and sanitary products, such as discardable medical apparatus and instruments and medical packaging materials,etc.
