Description

Di-(2-Ethyl-iso-Hexyl)Phthalate is a high-purity, branched-chain phthalate ester plasticizer known for its excellent low-temperature flexibility and permanence. This compound is critical for formulating durable, flexible polymer products that require long-term performance under demanding environmental conditions. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable and efficient plasticizing agents.

Application

• Primary plasticizer for PVC (polyvinyl chloride) resins, imparting superior flexibility and processability.
• Key component in the formulation of synthetic leather, vinyl flooring, and wall coverings for enhanced durability.
• Used in wire and cable insulation compounds to maintain flexibility across a wide temperature range.
• Plasticizer for adhesives, sealants, and caulks to improve workability and final film properties.
• Modifier in specialty coatings and inks to adjust viscosity and film formation.
• Processing aid in the manufacture of various rubber and elastomeric products.

Quality Control

Our Di-(2-Ethyl-iso-Hexyl)Phthalate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, color, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting compliance with relevant industry standards are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong acids, organic solvents, and sources of ignition. As this material is easily oxidized, storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended for long-term preservation of quality. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
