Product Description
Di-Octyl Adipate (DOA) is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid that is used as a plasticizer in plastics, rubber and coatings. It is a diester of adipic acid and 2-ethylhexanol and is used as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinyl acetate (PVA), polyethylene, polystyrene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers and nitrocellulose. It is used to increase flexibility and durability of these materials. DOA is also used in cosmetics and personal care products to impart a smooth feel and also to enhance the spreadability and absorption of the product. It is also used in food packaging and food contact materials as a plasticizer.

Exceptional Low-Temperature FlexibilityDi-Octyl Adipate (DOA) excels as a plasticizer in products where flexibility at low temperatures is paramount. With a melting point of -67C, DOA ensures softness and durability in PVC and other polymers even under harsh conditions. Its compatibility with various materials enhances processing efficiency and end-product quality.
Broad Compatibility and ApplicationsDOA is compatible with most resins, polymers, and plasticizers, providing manufacturers with versatility in formulation. It is commonly used in the production of flexible vinyl, copolymers, synthetic rubbers, cellulose esters, and especially in food packaging. Its physical and chemical stability extends product shelf life and maintains performance integrity.
Safe Handling and Reliable StorageThis plasticizer is stable under normal conditions, non-toxic, and nearly odorless, ensuring workplace safety and product purity. With recommended storage in cool, dry, and ventilated conditions inside tightly closed containers, DOA maintains its properties for up to 24 months, making it efficient for distributors and manufacturers.
FAQ's of Di-Octyl Adipate (DOA):
Q: How should Di-Octyl Adipate (DOA) be stored for optimal shelf life?
A: DOA should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers, such as 200 kg drums or IBC tanks. Under these conditions, it remains stable and maintains its quality for up to 24 months.
Q: What are the main industrial uses and benefits of DOA?
A: Di-Octyl Adipate is primarily used as a plasticizer in PVC, copolymers, synthetic rubbers, and cellulose esters, offering excellent low-temperature flexibility and compatibility. It is also widely used in the production of food packaging materials due to its non-toxic and nearly odorless properties.
Q: When is DOA preferred over other plasticizers?
A: DOA is preferred when low-temperature flexibility, high purity, stability, and compatibility with a broad range of resins and polymers are required. Its performance in cold conditions makes it ideal for products exposed to such environments.
Q: Where can DOA be applied within the manufacturing process?
A: DOA can be incorporated into manufacturing processes of flexible vinyl compounds, coatings, synthetic rubbers, adhesives, and food packaging films. Its solubility in many organic solvents makes it adaptable to various production techniques.
Q: What is the process for handling and using DOA safely?
A: DOA requires minimal special handling as it is non-toxic and stable. Standard industrial precautions such as using gloves and eye protection, along with proper ventilation and sealed containers, ensure safety during processing and storage.
Q: Is DOA compatible with all types of polymers and additives?
A: DOA is compatible with most common resins, polymers, and plasticizers used in industrial formulations, which enhances its versatility for various product applications.
