In the food packaging industry, the selection of materials is governed by stringent requirements for safety, functionality, and regulatory compliance. Plasticizers, essential for imparting flexibility and processability to polymers like PVC, must meet specific standards, particularly when they come into contact with food. Dioctyl Adipate (DOA), a widely recognized plasticizer, has earned its place in this sector due to its favorable properties. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we understand the critical importance of providing safe and effective solutions for food contact applications.

DOA: A Safe and Effective Plasticizer for Food Packaging

Dioctyl Adipate (CAS 103-23-1) is a diester of adipic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. Its key attributes make it highly suitable for flexible films and sheets used in food packaging:

  • Excellent Low-Temperature Flexibility: This property is vital for packaging frozen foods or items stored in refrigerated conditions, ensuring the packaging remains pliable and protective without cracking.
  • Good Heat Stability: DOA offers good resistance to heat, which is beneficial during the packaging process and for products that might be exposed to moderate heat.
  • Low Volatility: Its low volatility minimizes migration into food products, a crucial factor for food contact materials.
  • Regulatory Approval: Many countries, including the USA, France, Italy, Japan, and Holland, permit the use of DOA in food packaging materials, attesting to its safety profile when used within specified limits. As a responsible supplier, we ensure our DOA meets these strict regulatory requirements.
  • Compatibility: DOA is compatible with PVC and can be used alone or blended with other plasticizers to achieve desired performance characteristics.

Enhancing Packaging Performance with DOA

The incorporation of DOA into food packaging films provides several advantages:

  • Improved Machinability: DOA enhances the flexibility and processability of polymers, making it easier to manufacture thin, clear films with excellent clarity and drape.
  • Durability and Puncture Resistance: The flexibility imparted by DOA contributes to the overall durability of the packaging, improving its resistance to punctures and tears during handling and transport.
  • Versatility in Applications: DOA is used in various food packaging formats, including cling films, shrink films, and pouches, for a wide range of food products, from fresh produce to processed meats and cheeses.
