Dioctyl Adipate (DOA) is a commonly used plasticizer and softening agent in the polymer industry. DOA is derived from adipic acid and 2-ethylhexanol and offers various advantages when used as a plasticizer.

Properties:

• Chemical Formula: C22H42O4

• Molecular Weight: 370.57 g/mol

• Density: 0.92 g/cm³ (at 20°C)

• Melting Point: -67°C

• Boiling Point: 417°C (at 760 mmHg)

Applications:

• Flexible Films and Sheets: Ideal for packaging materials and protective coatings.

• Cables and Wires: Used in the insulation and sheathing of cables and wires, providing flexibility and resistance to oils.

• Hoses and Tubes: Enhances the flexibility and chemical resistance of hoses and tubes in the automotive, construction, and manufacturing industries.

• Coated Fabrics: Used as a plasticizer in synthetic leather and textiles, improving their flexibility, durability, and resistance to oils.

• Other Applications: Used in seals, gaskets, adhesives, and printing inks.

DOA maintains flexibility even at low temperatures, has high chemical resistance, and improves the flexibility and processability of polymers by lowering their glass transition temperature.

Dioktil Adipat (DOA) is also known by several other names:

• Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate
