Comparing with the dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and other phthalates, DOTP has the advantages of:
Higher heat resistance,
Better Cold resistance,
Higher Resistance to extraction,
Better flexibility,
Better electrical insulation properties,
Low volatility,
and shows excellent durability in products.
Besides, because of its structure it has lower migration rate comparing to phthalates, also it has higher resistance to soapy water and other solvents.
Versatility of DOTP plasticizer in Various Industrial Applications :
DOTP has good electrical and thermal properties,
It has good plasticizing effect and low volatility,
Due to its resistance to extraction, and very low solubility to aqueous solutions it very suitable for medical product and food packaging industry, to replace with DOP, a proven carcinogen.
It is an ideal plasticizer for the production of temperature-resistant 70℃ cable materials and other PVC products that require Volatility Resistance Agent.
It is widely used in various products that require heat resistance and high insulation,
Specially used in cable materials, with PVC plastic for electrical wire sheath.
DOTP is also used for improving the hardness, deformability, chemical resistance of the products,
as a softening Agent for paper, artificial leather film, rubber, neoprene, EPDM rubber, medical and hospital materials like blood bags, IV bags or bottles, medical tubes, disposable syringes, pharmaceutical packaging, food packaging cling films and various other products.
DOTP has excellent compatibility and being used as plasticizer for acrylonitrile derivatives, polyvinyl butyral, nitrile rubber, nitrocellulose, synthetic rubber, paint additives, precision instrument lubricants, lubricant additives,
DOTP is used in high-quality lubricants or lubricating additives for furniture and interior decoration paints, coatings and precision instruments, nitro varnish additives, polyester amide biaxially stretched films, film plastic crafts, plasma storage bags, etc.
Preferential use in Electrical Cables:
Because of its low volatility and higher heat and flame resistance, high insulation resistance, the use of DOTP can meet the temperature resistance requirements of wires and cables very efficiently, and widely used in 70°C-resistant cable materials (IEC standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission).
