Industrial Uses

1. Polymer & Resins

  • Primary Plasticizer for PVC: DOP is widely used to soften and provide flexibility to rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) materials. It improves processability and end-product durability in items like cables, hoses, synthetic leather, and flooring.
  • Insulation Modifier: Used in the production of flexible PVC insulation and sheathing for electrical wires and cables, providing mechanical strength, flexibility, and resistance to temperature variations.

2. Lubricants & Automobiles

  • Component Softener: Applied in car interiors (e.g., dashboards, door panels, seat covers) where flexible vinyl materials are used. Enhances softness, appearance, and resistance to wear and tear.

3. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Plasticizer and Flow Modifier: Enhances viscosity, elasticity, and bonding properties of adhesives and sealants used in construction, packaging, and consumer goods.Improves film formation and spreadability in coatings, lacquers, and inks. Enhances flexibility and surface finish of the applied product.
  • Film Former and Plasticizing Additive: Improves film formation and spreadability in coatings, lacquers, and inks. Enhances flexibility and surface finish of the applied product.
