Properties: DOP is almost colourless and odorless oily liquid, free of foreign materials which is, slightly soluble in water( 0.285mg/L at 240c ) but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. and is miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers of PVC compounding. Application: 95% of DOP is used as a Plasticizer in PVC resins for fabricating flexible vinyl Product like :- vinyl upholstery, tablecloth, shower, curtain, raincoat, shoes, garden hoses, swimming pools liners, polymeric coating, cable coating, component of paper & paperboard, defoaming agents, surface lubricants, in order of importance. The only significant non-plasticizer use for DOP is an replacement for polychlorinated biphenyls in dielectric fluid for electric capacitors. The miscellaneous use for DOP are :- as the solvent in erasable ink, as an acaricide for use in orchards, as an inert ingredient in pesticides, as an vacuum pump oil, in detecting leaks in respirators.
