Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP), also known by its chemical name Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), is a cornerstone chemical in many manufacturing processes, primarily for its function as a high-efficiency plasticizer. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we provide extensive product information to ensure our clients can utilize DOP effectively and safely. This guide aims to cover its technical parameters, storage, and handling, reinforcing our position as a knowledgeable supplier in China.

The technical specifications of DOP highlight its quality and suitability for demanding applications. Its appearance is consistently described as a colorless transparent oily liquid, with a specific density typically ranging from 0.980-0.986 g/cm³ at 20°C. The flash point is generally above 200°C, indicating good thermal stability. Furthermore, its acid value is kept to a minimum, usually ≤ 0.1 mg KOH/g, and the ester content is high, often ≥ 99.5%, ensuring purity and consistent performance. Moisture content is also controlled to ≤ 0.1%. Understanding these PVC processing parameters is crucial for achieving optimal results.

Storage and transportation of DOP require careful consideration to maintain product integrity and safety. It should be stored in a closed, well-ventilated place away from direct light, high temperatures, and humidity, ideally below 35°C. Keeping it away from strong oxidants and acid-base substances is also recommended. For transportation, it is treated as general chemical cargo, emphasizing the need to avoid severe collision and exposure to the elements. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. adheres to stringent guidelines for handling and shipping to ensure products reach our customers in optimal condition.

Safety and operation are paramount when working with any industrial chemical. During operation, it is advised to wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing to prevent direct skin contact or inhalation of vapors. Workplaces should be equipped with essential safety facilities like eyewash stations and emergency showers. In case of leakage, inert adsorption materials should be used for collection, and discharge into waterways is strictly prohibited. Proper waste management, following local regulations for hazardous waste disposal, is also a critical responsibility.

In terms of packaging, DOP is typically supplied in 200kg galvanized iron drums or IBC ton drums. Customization for smaller packaging, such as 25kg barrels, is also often available. Our commitment as a manufacturer in China extends to providing flexible packaging solutions to meet diverse customer needs.

While DOP is a highly effective plasticizer for PVC and other polymers, it's important to be aware of its regulatory status. For instance, in the EU market, compliance with REACH regulations, often involving authorized use and specific purposes, is necessary. We ensure that all necessary documentation, such as MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and COA (Quality Inspection Report), are provided to support compliance. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. stays updated on these regulations to assist clients in navigating the complexities of international trade and chemical use, especially concerning PVC modification and its industrial applications.
