Artificial leather has become a ubiquitous material across fashion, furniture, and automotive interiors, offering a viable and often more sustainable alternative to natural leather. The performance and aesthetic qualities of artificial leather are heavily dependent on the plasticizers used in its production. Among these, Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP) stands out as a superior choice, particularly for manufacturers aiming for high quality, enhanced durability, and environmental responsibility. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a leading supplier of DOTP, providing manufacturers with the means to achieve exceptional product characteristics.

Why DOTP is Ideal for Artificial Leather Production
Artificial leather requires a plasticizer that can impart significant flexibility without compromising on strength or longevity. DOTP excels in these areas due to its unique properties:

  • Exceptional Flexibility and Softness: DOTP effectively softens PVC, giving artificial leather a desirable supple feel and excellent drape. This allows for easy processing into various forms, from thin fashion fabrics to durable upholstery.
  • Improved Cold Resistance: A significant advantage of DOTP is its ability to maintain flexibility at low temperatures. This means artificial leather produced with DOTP will not harden or crack when exposed to cold environments, ensuring consistent performance and aesthetics. This is crucial for automotive interiors and outdoor furniture.
  • Low Volatility and Migration Resistance: The low volatility of DOTP ensures that it remains within the PVC matrix, preventing the plasticizer from migrating to the surface or evaporating over time. This results in artificial leather that retains its properties for longer and is less prone to surface issues.
  • Enhanced Durability and Abrasion Resistance: DOTP contributes to the overall durability of artificial leather by improving its resistance to wear and tear. The enhanced flexibility also means the material is less likely to crease or crack under stress.
  • Chemical Resistance: DOTP provides artificial leather with better resistance to cleaning agents and common chemicals, ensuring that the material remains in good condition through regular use and maintenance.
  • Eco-Friendly and Non-Toxic: As a non-phthalate plasticizer, DOTP is a safer alternative to traditional phthalates. Its non-toxic nature is vital for products that come into contact with skin, such as clothing and furniture, aligning with consumer demand for healthier materials.
