Polymer additives
Plasticizers that add flexibility, permanence and processability to PVC — from general-purpose DOP to premium DPHP.

Plasticizers
Phthalate and non-phthalate plasticizers that improve flexibility, durability and processing for PVC processors, compounders and converters.
DOP — Dioctyl phthalate
General purposeThe balanced cost-performance plasticizer.
- Flexibility and softness
- Processing efficiency
- Stable electrical properties
Used in: Cables, synthetic leather, footwear, films, hoses, flooring, adhesives
DINP — Diisononyl phthalate
High molecular weightBetter durability and long-term performance than DOP.
- Excellent ageing resistance
- Low volatility
- Good weathering
Used in: Automotive interiors, cable insulation, flooring, coated fabrics
DOTP — Dioctyl terephthalate
Non-phthalateStrong regulatory acceptance with high performance.
- Low migration and volatility
- Excellent thermal stability
- Environmentally preferred
Used in: Medical products, food-contact packaging where permitted, cables, films, flooring
DPHP — Di(2-propylheptyl) phthalate
PremiumFor demanding applications that need long-term stability.
- Superior heat resistance
- Extremely low volatility
- Excellent permanence
Used in: Automotive parts, industrial cables, roofing membranes, specialty compounds
Choosing a plasticizer
| Plasticizer | Type | Permanence | Heat resistance | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DOP | Phthalate | Standard | Standard | Cost-effective general PVC |
| DINP | Phthalate | Good | Good | Automotive, cable, flooring |
| DOTP | Non-phthalate | Good | Very good | Regulated and sensitive uses |
| DPHP | Phthalate | Excellent | Excellent | High-temperature, long life |
