Application

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, a colorless oily liquid also known as dioctyl adipate (DOA), serves the primary purpose of enhancing the impact properties of polymers by acting as a plasticizer. Its versatility is further demonstrated in the production of clear films for food packaging, where clarity and flexibility are crucial. Additionally, DOA finds use in the synthetic rubber industry, owing to its compatibility with nitrocellulose and ethylcellulose. As a diester formed from the formal condensation of adipic acid's carboxy groups with 2-ethylhexan-1-ol, it efficiently fulfills its role in preparing various polymeric materials.
