DOP (Dioctyl Phthalate) Production Cost Reports

DOP (Dioctyl phthalate) production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a DOP (Dioctyl phthalate) production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of DOP (Dioctyl phthalate). This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) is a plasticizer that is naturally found in Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus, Ekimia bornmuelleri, and other organisms.

The chemical looks like a clear, colourless liquid with a mild odour and oily consistency. It is somewhat less dense than water, is not soluble, and floats in it. It has various properties, including high plasticizing efficiency, UV-resistance, cold-resisting property, low volatility, water-extracting proof, softness, and electric property. It has a flash point of 430 °F.

Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) is primarily used in the production of flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic which is driving its market growth. Due to it being cheaper, it is the most widely used plasticizer, which furthers the market growth. It has great heat and ultraviolet light stability and is also compatible with a range of PVC resins. It can also be used as dielectric and hydraulic fluids. It works like a solvent for many chemicals, like glowsticks. It is the primary substance added in plastics to make it softer or more flexible.

In the medical industry, it is used to make medical tubing and blood storage bags, carpet back coating, wire and cables, floor tile, and adhesives. It is also used in cosmetics and pesticides. It is extensively used in PVC and ethyl cellulose resins for manufacturing imitation leather, plastic film, electric wire, etc. In addition, it finds application in making various products like PVC soles for shoes and floor coverings, slippers, waterproof membranes, varnishes, paints, door mats, and hoses. Also, it is used in the calendaring process of paper finishing, as a hydraulic or dielectric fluid in capacitors, to produce PVC granules, among others.
