DOP
DOP is commonly utilized as a plasticizer in specific applications where concerns about volatiles are minimal. Additionally, it serves as a hydraulic fluid and a dielectric fluid in capacitors. Historically, DOP was the primary plasticizer used in the production of PVC-based products. However, due to its toxicity, its usage has declined, leading to a shift towards lower volatile phthalate alternatives and phthalate-free products in certain PVC and other applications.
