When choosing a plasticizer for PVC production, the decision often comes down to three main choices: DOP, DOTP, and DINP. Each has distinct chemical properties, regulatory statuses, and cost structures. This guide will help procurement managers and technical engineers select the right grade for their specific application.
Property | DOP (Dioctyl Phthalate) | DOTP (Dioctyl Terephthalate) | DINP (Diisononyl Phthalate) |
|---|---|---|---|
CAS Number | 117-81-7 | 6422-86-2 | 28553-12-0 |
Phthalate Status | Ortho-Phthalate (Restricted) | Phthalate-Free (Safe) | Ortho-Phthalate (General Use) |
Volatility | Medium | Low | Very Low |
Applications | General Industrial PVC | Toys, Food Wrap, Medical | Wire & Cable, Flooring |
Compliance is the primary driver for switching plasticizers in 2026. DOP is listed on REACH Annex XIV, meaning its use in the EU is strictly restricted. DOTP is not an ortho-phthalate and is considered an eco-friendly "green" plasticizer, REACH-compliant without authorization for most applications.
DOBO New Energy specializes in high-purity plasticizers with factory-direct pricing. Our DINP offers superior permanence for outdoor cables, while our DOTP is the top choice for non-toxic consumer goods.
Yes, in most formulations, DOTP can replace DOP with minimal adjustments. Contact our technical team for specific guidance.
