The Science Behind Low Volatility: Why Dioctyl Sebacate (DOS) is Key for Durable Plastics
In the formulation of plastics, the longevity and consistent performance of a product are significantly influenced by the plasticizer's properties. One of the most critical attributes is low volatility. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. highlights Dioctyl Sebacate (DOS), a premium plasticizer renowned for its low volatility and its crucial role in ensuring the durability and sustained performance of a wide array of plastic products.
Volatility refers to a substance's tendency to vaporize. In the context of plasticizers, high volatility means the plasticizer can escape from the polymer matrix over time, especially when exposed to heat or vacuum. This escape, or migration, can lead to several undesirable outcomes: the plastic becomes harder and more brittle, its flexibility is reduced, and the plasticizer itself may be lost, impacting the product's overall lifespan and performance.
Dioctyl Sebacate, as a plasticizer for low volatility applications, offers a distinct advantage. Its molecular structure and higher boiling point mean it remains incorporated within the polymer matrix for much longer periods. This ensures that the plastic maintains its desired flexibility, softness, and other mechanical properties throughout its service life. For applications such as films, sheets, and wire insulation, where consistent flexibility is paramount, the low volatility of DOS is indispensable.
The benefits of this low volatility extend to improved resistance to heat and light as well. By staying within the polymer, DOS helps protect the plastic from degradation caused by environmental factors, preventing premature aging, discoloration, and loss of structural integrity. This makes it an ideal choice for products that are exposed to sunlight, elevated temperatures, or outdoor conditions.
Beyond its low volatility, Dioctyl Sebacate is also celebrated as a superior cold-resistant plasticizer for PVC. This combination of properties makes it exceptionally valuable for products intended for use in cold climates or demanding low-temperature environments. The plasticizer doesn't just stay put; it actively helps the polymer remain pliable and resilient at sub-zero temperatures, preventing cracking and maintaining functionality.
