Plasticizer For Pvc

Dioctyl Sebacate (DOS), also referred to as di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DEHS or BEHS), is a high-performance plasticizer specifically designed for cold-resistant PVC applications. Known for its excellent plasticizing efficiency and low volatility, this colorless to light yellow transparent oily liquid excels in both cold and high-temperature environments. With its superior insulation properties and robust resistance to weathering, DOS is an ideal choice for producing cold-resistant wire and cable materials, artificial leather, films, planks, and sheets.

Plasticizer For Pvc (DOS) is often combined with phthalate plasticizers to serve as a low-temperature plasticizer in synthetic rubbers and is extensively used in the manufacture of PVC toys. Beyond its primary role as a plasticizer, DOS is utilized as a lubricant in jet engines and solid propellant systems. In these applications, it enhances mechanical properties, lowers the glass transition temperature (Tg), and increases elongation at low temperatures. Additionally, DOS improves the fluidity and leveling of propellant paste during processing, with typical usage ranging from 10% to 40% by weight of the binder.

The versatility of Plasticizer For Pvc (DOS) extends into various other industries. It is employed in DOT 5 brake fluids, ester-based engine oils and additives, and even as a seed particle in particle image velocimetry (PIV). Furthermore, DOS serves as a model compound for creating stable aerosols. Compliant with FDA CFR 21 regulations for food contact materials, Dioctyl Sebacate is also a key ingredient in personal care products such as deodorants, antiperspirants, makeup, skin conditioners, lotions, and sunscreens, where it contributes to a silky feel and smooth application.
