DIOCTYL ADIPATE (DOA)

Introduction

Dioctyl adipate (DOA) is an organic compound that is used as a plasticizer for PVC. It is a colorless oily liquid. DOA can be mixed with other plasticizers such as  DOP or DOTP. DOA is soluble in oil but insoluble in water. Other names of DOA are bis (2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate and adipic acid di (2-Ethylhexyl) ester.

DOA is used as a plasticizer due to its high flexibility, low temperature, and good electrical properties. It also has good weather resistance and thermal stability. DOA has a variety of applications, it’s more likely used in plastic wrap for food packaging.
