Di Octyl Adipate (DOA) is a plasticizer based on the ester of adipic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. Its chemical identity is bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (IUPAC), widely used to improve flexibility and low-temperature performance in polymers and compounds. DOA is a clear, colorless oily liquid and one of the standard adipate plasticizers in industrial applications.

Provides excellent low-temperature flexibility and cold performance in polymers.
Improves processability and plasticization of PVC and other resins.
Compatible with a wide range of polymer systems including PVC, rubber, and elastomers.
High thermal and light stability for consistent product performance.
DOA is widely used in:
PVC and PVC compounds (flexible films, sheets, profiles)
Plastisols and coatings with stable low initial viscosity and storage properties.
Rubber and elastomeric products where flexibility is needed.
Cable insulation and wire sheathing (plasticizer component).
Clear food-contact films and packaging materials (in formulations meeting regulatory requirements).
Typical usage concentration of DOA in plasticizer formulations ranges from 5% to 40% by weight depending on application, polymer type, and performance requirements.
👉 Disclaimer: These values are for general industrial guidance. End-use formulation levels should be verified through trials and tailored to specific material systems. Always consult technical experts before finalizing dosage.
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Ensure containers are tightly closed to prevent contamination. Follow all applicable local regulations and safety guidelines.
