  • What is dioctyl phthalate (DOP)?
  • Dioctyl phthalate (DOP) is a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly fruity odor. It is a commonly used industrial chemical and a type of phthalate ester, which is a plasticizer. DOP is often added to plastics, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), to make them more flexible and easier to process.
  • How is dioctyl phthalate synthesized?
  • Dioctyl phthalate is synthesized by the esterification of phthalic anhydride with 2-ethylhexyl alcohol using a homogeneous acid catalyst such as concentrated sulfuric acid. This process is typically carried out in batch reactors under controlled temperature conditions for 16-20 hours.
  • Is dioctyl phthalate soluble in water?
  • Dioctyl phthalate (DOP) is a clear, colourless liquid which is slightly more dense than water with a slight but characteristic odour. It is miscible with most organic solvents but not soluble in water.
  • How should dioctyl phthalate be stored?
  • Dioctyl phthalate should be stored in tightly-closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. This material should be handled in accordance with good industry safety and hygiene practices. Relevant engineering controls should be implemented.
