For professionals in the chemical and manufacturing sectors, a deep understanding of product specifications is fundamental to making informed purchasing decisions. Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP), a widely utilized plasticizer, is no exception. As a leading supplier and manufacturer, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM emphasizes the importance of adhering to key specifications to ensure product quality and performance in your applications. When you decide to buy DOP, paying close attention to these parameters guarantees successful formulation.

The first critical specification is its Appearance. High-quality DOP should be a colorless, transparent oily liquid. Any deviation from this—such as cloudiness, discoloration, or the presence of solid particles—can indicate impurities or degradation, affecting its performance as a plasticizer. Our manufacturing processes ensure that the DOP we supply consistently meets this visual standard.

Purity is paramount. For most industrial applications, a minimum purity of 99.5% is standard for DOP. Higher purity translates to fewer unwanted side reactions or impacts on the final product's properties. Manufacturers should always verify the purity levels provided by their suppliers, ensuring they align with the demands of their specific formulation. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM guarantees this high level of purity in all our batches.

Acidity is another crucial parameter. Measured typically as phthalic acid, the acidity level should be very low, usually less than 0.010%. Excessive acidity can indicate potential degradation of the plasticizer or contamination, which could negatively affect the stability of the polymer matrix and even lead to corrosion of processing equipment. We maintain strict control over our production to keep acidity levels exceptionally low.

Other important specifications include Density (around 0.985 g/cm³ at 20°C) and Flash Point (typically above 196°C). Density is important for volumetric calculations and material handling, while a high flash point is indicative of lower volatility and enhanced safety during storage and use. The Water Content should also be minimal, typically less than 0.10%, as excess moisture can adversely affect polymer processing and product quality.

When sourcing DOP, it is advisable to work with a manufacturer that provides comprehensive technical data sheets (TDS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS). These documents detail all relevant specifications, handling guidelines, and safety precautions. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM is committed to transparency and provides full documentation for our products, making it easier for you to integrate our DOP into your procurement and R&D workflows.
