DOTP stands for Dioctyl Terephthalate, which is a type of plasticizer used in the production of various plastic products. It is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid that is commonly used as a substitute for phthalate plasticizers, which have been found to be potentially harmful to human health.
Properties:
- DOTP is a clear, colorless liquid that is practically odorless.
- It has a high boiling point and low volatility, making it useful in high-temperature applications.
- It has good electrical properties, making it suitable for use in PVC insulation and sheathing for wires and cables.
- It has excellent compatibility with PVC, which means it can be easily blended with PVC resins to create flexible PVC products.
Benefits:
- DOTP is a safer alternative to phthalate plasticizers such as DOP (diethylhexyl phthalate), which are considered to be harmful to human health and the environment.
- DOTP offers good stability, which means it can be used in outdoor applications without breaking down due to exposure to UV radiation or other environmental factors.
- DOTP has good thermal stability, which means it can be used in high-temperature applications without degrading.
Application Areas:
- PVC products: Cables, films, flooring, and artificial leather.
- Medical devices: Production of medical devices such as blood bags and tubing.
- Toys and childcare products: Production of toys and childcare products to ensure their safety and compliance with regulations.
- Automotive components: Production of automotive components such as dashboard covers and seat covers.
- Other applications: DOTP is also used in other applications such as adhesives, sealants, and coatings.
LEBA DOTP is a colorless, clear liquid plasticizer with hardly noticeable characteristic smell. It is mostly compatible with most of the plasticizers and it is miscible with most of the solvents.
