Dioctyl Adipate can be used alone or with other plasticizers such as Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) and Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), cold resistant agricultural plastic film, freezer food, packaging film, cable, electrical wire, and more.
Dioctyl Adipate can also be used as a Group V Synthetic base oil, especially in applications where low temperature performance is required, and can be mixed with Group III and Group IV base oils to improve its properties.
USES OF DIOCTYL ADIPATE:
The product is an excellent cold resistant plasticizer of PVC, which gives the product excellent low softness, light thermal stability and water resistance.
In the plastisol, the initial viscosity is low and the viscosity stability is good.
Dioctyl Adipate is often used with DOP and other main plasticizers for cold resistant agricultural film, wire, sheet, artificial leather, outdoor water pipe and packaging film of frozen food.
Dioctyl Adipate can also be used as a low temperature plasticizer for many synthetic rubbers and for resins such as nitrocellulose and ethyl cellulose.
Dioctyl Adipate can be used as a cold resistant plasticizer for a variety of resins, especially PVC and vinyl chloride copolymers.
Dioctyl Adipate can also be used as the raw material of aviation grease.
Dioctyl Adipate can be used as stationary liquid for gas chromatography (the highest operating temperature is 135 ℃, and the solvent is ether).
Dioctyl Adipate is used alone or together with other plasticizers as a softener in all PVC paste and dough mixtures.
Dioctyl Adipate is used in the production of Stretch Film, in the production of phthalate-free goods (in the toy industry, in the production of skin cloth, in the production of some special hoses, in the production of tablecloths, etc.), in the production of artificial leather, in the production of cables, in the production of PVC mats, in the production of tarpaulin.
Dioctyl adipate is a versatile compound that has many uses. Here are some of the applications that you can find DOA in.
Dioctyl Adipate can be used on cold resistant agricultural plastic film, freezer food, packaging film, cable, electrical wire, imitation paper, planet and outer water pipe.
Dioctyl Adipate provides good low temperature flexibility, good heat stability, weatherability properties, high plasticizing efficiency and good electrical properties, making it particularly suitable for use in flexible coatings and PVC colorants.
Dioctyl Adipate can be used in food contact applications such as food packaging films and sealants as well as to disperse pigments in paint.
Dioctyl Adipate can be found in many commercial products such as shoes, slippers, synthetic leather, door mats, and more.
