The Chinese full name of DOP plasticizer is dioctyl phthalate. DOP plasticizer is an important general-purpose plasticizer. DOP plasticizer is colorless oily. This DOP plasticizer is insoluble in water, but DOP Plasticizers are soluble in most organic solvents.
Application of DOP plasticizer DOP plasticizer is widely used in the processing of PVC polyvinyl chloride resin. In addition, DOP plasticizer is also widely used in chemical fiber resin, and DOP plasticizer is also used in the processing of acetic acid resin. Agents, as well as ABS resin and rubber processing industries, etc. must use DOP plasticizers, so DOP plasticizers have been widely used. In the application field of DOP plasticizer, DOP plasticizer can be divided into more detailed:
1. General-purpose DOP plasticizer. This kind of DOP plasticizer is widely used in industries such as plastics and rubber, and PVC materials using DOP plasticizer can be used to make artificial leather, agricultural film, packaging materials, etc.
2. Electrical grade DOP plasticizer. In addition to all the properties of general-purpose DOP plasticizers, DOP plasticizers also have good electrical insulation properties. This DOP plasticizer is mainly used to produce wires and cables.
3. Food grade DOP plasticizer. Food-grade DOP plasticizers are mainly used in the production of food packaging materials.
4. Medical grade DOP plasticizer. Medical-grade DOP plasticizers are mainly used in the production of medical and sanitary products. This kind of DOP plasticizer is mainly reflected in disposable medical appliances and medical packaging materials.
The fate of DOP plasticizers As early as two years ago, the European Union has included three phthalates, including DOP plasticizers, directly on the "elimination list" of chemicals. This means that, without special authorization, DOP plasticizers will disappear in the EU market after three to five years. The United States, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Argentina and other countries have also set limits similar to those of the European Union on the content of DOP plasticizers in all plastic products related to the human body and hygienic food, such as toys. DOP plasticizers are widely used in the field of high molecular polymers, and there are many application levels of DOP plasticizers. However, it is worth noting that certain chemical properties of DOP plasticizers have potential toxicological effects on humans and damage to the environment. Therefore, in the long run, in the future plastic chemical industry, DOP plasticizers will inevitably escape being accepted. The fate of environmental plasticizer replacement.
