Chemical Properties Of Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate CAS 117-81-7

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP, CAS 117-81-7, C₂₄H₃₈O₄, MW ~390.56) is stable under normal conditions but hydrolyzes slowly in acid/alkali, decomposing into phthalic acid and 2-ethylhexanol; it has low volatility and good thermal stability but may degrade above 200°C, is highly soluble in organic solvents but barely in water (0.25 mg/L at 25°C), undergoes transesterification with alcohols and saponification in strong alkali, and is compatible with many polymers as a plasticizer, though susceptible to oxidation by strong agents.

Product Application Of Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate CAS 117-81-7

  • The most widely used plasticizer, except for cellulose acetate and polyvinyl acetate, has good compatibility with most synthetic resins and rubbers used in industry. This product has good comprehensive performance, good mixing performance, high plasticizing efficiency, low volatility, good low-temperature flexibility, water extraction resistance, high electrical properties, good heat resistance and weather resistance. As a main plasticizer, this product is widely used in the processing of various soft products of polyvinyl chloride, such as chemical books, such as films, sheets, artificial leather, cable materials and molded products.
  • This product is non-toxic and can be used for packaging materials in contact with food, but because it is easily extracted by fat, it is not suitable for fatty food packaging materials. It can also be used in nitrocellulose paint to make the paint film have elasticity and high tensile strength. In a variety of synthetic rubbers, this product also has a good softening effect. In addition, DOP is also used as a condensing agent, a friction reducer, an organic solvent, and a gas chromatography stationary liquid.
