DOP (Dioctyl Phthalate) Plasticizer

The industry-standard plasticizer that makes PVC soft and flexible.

DOP (dioctyl phthalate, also known as DEHP) is the most widely used plasticizer for PVC. Blended into PVC, it lets the polymer chains slide past one another, turning rigid PVC into the soft, flexible material used in cables, footwear, films and hoses. The more DOP added, the more flexible the finished product.

It is the industry benchmark plasticizer for its balance of plasticising efficiency, low cost and all-round performance. Aleemsons supplies DOP from ready stock and by indenting, with certificates of analysis and full documentation.
