Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP)

Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP) is a modern, eco-friendly general-purpose plasticizer that is completely free of ortho-phthalates. It serves as a direct and safer replacement for traditional DOP. Due to its non-toxic profile, DOTP is approved for use in sensitive applications such as children's toys, food contact films, medical devices, and residential flooring. The plasticizer exhibits low volatility, which prevents window fogging in automotive interiors and ensures the longevity of PVC products. It imparts excellent cold resistance and flexibility to materials. Additionally, DOTP features superior electrical insulation properties, making it the preferred choice for cable jacketing. It is a clear, oily liquid that blends easily with polymers and is compatible with standard PVC processing equipment.
