Di-Octyl adipate (DOA) is a commonly used plasticizer, primarily added to flexible plastics like PVC to enhance softness and durability. It is valued for its excellent low-temperature performance, making it ideal for applications such as wire and cable insulation, flooring, synthetic leather, and food packaging. DOA is also used in cosmetics and personal care products due to its smooth, non-greasy feel.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Pharmaceutical Packaging: DOA is used as a plasticizer in flexible pharmaceutical packaging materials like PVC, enhancing flexibility without compromising safety.
  • Medical Devices: Applied in non-toxic, flexible medical tubing and bags, especially where low-temperature performance is required.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Plasticizer Intermediate: DOA is used in the production of other esters or blended with other plasticizers for specialty polymer synthesis.
  • Carrier Fluid: Acts as a solvent or carrier fluid in chemical formulations requiring thermal stability and flexibility.

3. Construction

  • Flexible Building Materials: Used in flooring, wall coverings, and roofing membranes made from PVC, providing flexibility and durability in cold environments.
  • Sealant Formulations: Enhances flexibility in sealants and caulking compounds, especially for outdoor use.

4. Agrochemicals

  • Carrier Solvent: DOA serves as an inert carrier or solvent in agrochemical formulations, especially in emulsifiable concentrates.
  • Film-Forming Agent: Helps in forming flexible films for slow-release agrochemical applications.

5. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Plasticizer in Adhesives: Used in pressure-sensitive adhesives, improving flexibility, durability, and resistance to aging.
  • Weather-Resistant Sealants: Offers excellent performance in sealants exposed to varying temperatures and outdoor environments.

6. Polymers & Resins

  • Flexible PVC Products: A major application is in soft PVC for cable insulation, films, sheets, and synthetic leathers.
  • Low-Temperature Performance: Enhances the cold-resistance of polymer products, maintaining flexibility even in sub-zero environments.
