Additional Information

DEHP is produced by the esterification of phthalic anhydride with 2-ethyl-hexanol. This reaction occurs in two successive steps. The first reaction step results in the formation of monoester by alcoholysis of phthalic acid. This step is rapid and proceeds to completion. The second step involves the conversion of the monoester to the di-ester. This is a reversible reaction and proceeds more slowly than the first. To shift the equilibrium towards the di-ester, the reaction water is removed by distillation. Elevated temperatures and a catalyst accelerate the reaction rate. Depending on the catalyst used, the temperature in the second step varies from 140ºC to 165ºC with acid catalysts and from 200ºC to 250ºC with amphoteric catalysts. Variations in purity may occur depending on catalyst, reactant alcohol and process type. Excess alcohol is recovered and recycled and DEHP is purified by vacuum distillation and/or activated charcoal. The reaction sequence is performed in a closed system. This process can be run continuously or in batches.TCC's ChemFlexx DOP, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP, a.k.a. DOP) is the commercial name and abbreviation for the organic compound di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), one of the most cost effective and widely available general purpose plasticizers on the market today. This colorless viscous liquid is soluble in oil, but not in water. It possesses good plasticizing properties. Being produced on a massive scale by many companies, it has acquired many names and acronyms. It is the most important "phthalate," being the diester of phthalic acid and the branched-chain 2-ethylhexanol.Due to its suitable properties and the low cost, DEHP/DOP is widely used as a plasticizer in the manufacturing of articles made of PVC. It is also used as a hydraulic fluid and as a dielectric fluid in capacitors. Additionally, DEHP finds use as a solvent in glowsticks.

Applications

TCC’s ChemFlexx DOP di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP, a.k.a. DOP) is one of the most cost effective and widely available general-purpose plasticizers. It is used mainly for making PVC soft and pliable for applications in the automotive industry, the manufacturing of building and construction materials, cable and flooring, as well as medical devices and toys. The non-toxic liquid compound is also used in the production of vinyl upholstery, tablecloths, shower curtains, raincoats, shoes, garden hoses, swimming pool liners, polymeric coatings, cable coatings, components of paper and paperboard, defoaming agents and surface lubricants.
