DOA - Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Adipate

DOA, also known as Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Adipate, is an industrial solvent with the following physical features:

Applications

• PVC and Plastics. DOA is primarily used as a plasticizer in the production of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and other plastics. It improves the flexibility, durability, and workability of the plasticized materials, making them suitable for applications such as wires and cables, automotive components, and flexible films.
• Coatings and Inks. DOA is used as a solvent and plastisol viscosity reducer in the formulation of coatings, inks, and paints. It aids in dissolving various resins, enhancing pigment dispersion, and improving film formation properties.
• Adhesives and Sealants. DOA acts as a solvent in the formulation of adhesives and sealants, helping dissolve and disperse different types of resins. It improves the spreadability and adhesion properties of the final products.
• Lubricants. DOA is utilized as a lubricating oil additive, especially in industries where low-temperature performance is required. It enhances the lubricity and viscosity characteristics of lubricating oils.
• Textiles. DOA is used as a softening agent in the textile industry. It imparts a soft, smooth feel to fabrics and improves their flexibility and wrinkle resistance.
