When selecting a DOP plasticizer for PVC cables, hoses and flooring, the practical starting point is the technical data sheet (TDS): ester content 99.5, density 0.982-0.988 g/ml, flash point 195-215 °C and viscosity 70-80 mPa·s. The table in this article summarizes the parameters that are typically listed for this grade, and the sections below outline how each application area may influence the selection.
DOP (dioctyl phthalate) is a general-purpose plasticizer, which means the same grade can be evaluated across many flexible PVC products. Before ordering, formulators usually check batch consistency, clarity and processing behavior. The parameters most often reviewed are ester content, Apha color, acidity, moisture, density and viscosity.
Application fit should always be confirmed by formulation testing, since the final performance depends on the whole compound and on the processing conditions at your plant.
Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
Appearance | Transparent oily liquid |
Odor | Odorless |
Ester Content | 99.5 |
Acidity | 0.01 |
Apha (Color) | 20-30 |
Lost by Heating | ≤ 0.2 |
Density | 0.982-0.988 g/ml |
Moisture | 0.01 |
Flash Point | 195-215 °C |
Viscosity | 70-80 mPa·s |
Grade | Qualified |
These are the typical values listed for this DOP grade. Actual batch values should be verified against the documentation provided by the supplier before use.
For flexible PVC cable insulation and sheathing, the parameters that matter most are ester content, acidity, moisture and flash point, because they relate to batch consistency and processing safety. The grade described in this article is commonly evaluated for standard flexible cable compounds. See the DOP Plasticizer for Flexible PVC Cables product page for the application grade details.
Soft PVC hoses and tubes rely on good low-temperature flexibility and consistent density for stable extrusion. A DOP grade with a density of 0.982-0.988 g/ml and viscosity of 70-80 mPa·s is a typical reference point for general-purpose hose compounds. See the DOP Plasticizer for PVC Hoses and Tubes product page for more detail.
Flooring layers and sheet products need balanced flexibility and good handling properties. Ester content and Apha color are often checked first because they indicate purity and clarity. See the DOP Plasticizer for PVC Flooring and Sheets product page for the flooring-focused grade information.
Compare the batch TDS against the typical values in this article.
Confirm density and viscosity match your dosing and handling equipment.
Ask the supplier for the current batch documentation before ordering.
Run a small-scale trial before full production.
DOP stands for dioctyl phthalate, a general-purpose plasticizer widely used in flexible PVC compounds.
For this grade, 11 parameters are typically listed: appearance, odor, ester content, acidity, Apha color, lost by heating, density, moisture, flash point, viscosity and grade.
Ester content, acidity, moisture and flash point are commonly reviewed first for cable compounds because they relate to batch consistency and processing safety.
DOP is a general-purpose plasticizer, so the same grade may be evaluated across these applications, but the final fit should be confirmed by formulation testing for each product.
The typical flash point range is 195-215 °C.
Request the current batch TDS from the supplier and confirm that density, viscosity and the other listed parameters match your specification.
Selecting a DOP plasticizer for PVC cables, hoses and flooring starts with the TDS parameters and ends with a formulation trial. The typical values in this article are a useful reference, but the final recipe should always be verified by your technical team.
If you are evaluating a DOP plasticizer for these applications, contact DOBO New Energy to request the current batch TDS.
