The construction and interior design industries constantly seek materials that offer both aesthetic appeal and long-term performance, while also adhering to growing environmental standards. PVC is a popular choice for flooring and wall coverings due to its versatility and durability. The key to achieving optimal performance lies in the plasticizers used in its formulation. Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP) is increasingly recognized as the premier plasticizer for these applications, offering a unique blend of flexibility, durability, and environmental safety. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a trusted supplier of high-grade DOTP for the building materials sector.

Why DOTP is the Preferred Plasticizer for Flooring and Wall Coverings
DOTP's properties make it exceptionally well-suited for interior finishing materials:

  • Enhanced Flexibility and Resilience: DOTP imparts excellent flexibility to PVC flooring and wall coverings. This allows for easier installation, better contouring to surfaces, and improved resistance to damage from foot traffic or impacts. The material remains pliable, preventing issues like cracking or deformation.
  • Improved Stain and Chemical Resistance: A significant advantage of DOTP is its resistance to extraction. This means the plasticizer is less likely to be leached out by cleaning agents or spills. The result is flooring and wall coverings that are easier to maintain, resist staining, and retain their aesthetic appeal for longer periods.
  • Low Volatility for Better Indoor Air Quality: With growing awareness of indoor air quality (IAQ), the low volatility of DOTP is a critical benefit. It ensures minimal release of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) into the environment, contributing to healthier living and working spaces. This aligns with green building certifications and consumer preferences for healthy homes.
  • Durability and Longevity: The combination of flexibility, resistance to wear, and chemical stability provided by DOTP results in PVC flooring and wall coverings that offer superior longevity. They can withstand daily wear and tear, maintaining their appearance and function over many years.
  • Non-Phthalate and Eco-Friendly: As environmental regulations tighten, the non-phthalate nature of DOTP makes it an essential component for sustainable construction materials. It offers a safer alternative to traditional phthalates, meeting both regulatory requirements and market demand for greener products.

Applications in Building Materials
DOTP is a versatile plasticizer finding application in:

  • Vinyl Flooring: From residential to commercial spaces, DOTP ensures durable, flexible, and easy-to-maintain vinyl flooring.
  • Wall Coverings: It provides the necessary flexibility and resistance to cleaning for decorative and functional wall coverings.
  • Protective Films: Used in PVC films for surface protection in construction and renovation projects.
  • Sealing Materials: Contributes to the flexibility and durability of PVC-based sealants and gaskets used in construction.
