Dioctyl Phthalate — DOP, DEHP (CAS 117-81-7) — 99.5% general-purpose plasticiser grade. Serving PVC compounding, cable, film, flooring, artificial leather and coatings industries across the UAE and GCC.
Product Overview
Dioctyl Phthalate (C₂₄H₃₈O₄), commonly called DOP and chemically bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate or DEHP, is a clear, oily, almost odourless liquid produced by esterifying phthalic anhydride with 2-ethylhexanol. It has been the benchmark general-purpose plasticiser for decades.
DOP is added to PVC to make it soft and flexible, offering an excellent balance of plasticising efficiency, low-temperature flexibility, electrical properties and cost. It is compatible with PVC across a wide range of loadings and processing methods.
DOP is used in cable insulation and sheathing, calendered films and sheets, flooring, artificial leather, hoses, coated fabrics, and in some adhesives, sealants and coatings. Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies DOP to PVC compounders and manufacturers across the UAE and wider GCC, with alternative non-phthalate plasticisers available on request.
