中文简体Dioctyl Adipate (DOA) is a common plasticizer with the chemical formula C22H42O4. It belongs to the fatty acid ester compound and is widely used in industries such as plastics and rubber. It is favored for its excellent flexibility and low-temperature performance.
A key characteristic of DOA as a plasticizer is that it can give plastics better softness and ductility. It is particularly suitable for the processing of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which can keep PVC soft and not brittle at low temperatures. This makes it very common in the production of products that require low-temperature resistance, such as refrigerator door seals and outdoor wire sheaths. In addition, DOA is also widely used in the production of food packaging films because it has good oil resistance and non-toxicity, and meets food safety standards.
In rubber products, DOA is widely used as a plasticizer for elastomers to help improve the flexibility and weather resistance of products. Because DOA has excellent anti-aging properties, it can keep rubber products with good elasticity and physical properties in long-term use. In addition, DOA is also commonly used to make products such as high-elastic sponges and hoses that need to remain soft and durable.
Dioctyl Adipate also has excellent lubricity and durability, so it is also commonly found in lubricating oils. It can effectively reduce the friction of mechanical equipment and extend the service life of the machine. In addition, in the fields of cosmetics, moisturizers, etc., DOA, as an effective softener, also has good application prospects.
