Cold-resistant plasticizer —— Application of DOS in the plastic field

DOS (Dioctyl Sebacate) is a widely used cold-resistant plasticizer. DOS has high plasticizing efficiency, low volatility, and high stability. DOS not only has excellent cold resistance but also good heat resistance, light resistance, and electrical insulation properties. Thanks to DOS’s outstanding physical and chemical properties, DOS is widely applied in the plastic field. Below, we will introduce the specific applications of DOS in the plastic field one by one.

1. DOS is applied in the manufacture of wires and cables:

DOS can be used to manufacture cold-resistant wires and cables. DOS allows the cables to maintain good flexibility and electrical insulation even in low-temperature environments, ensuring the stability and safety of power transmission.

2. DOS is applied in resin synthesis:

DOS is widely used in the production of various resin materials, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cellulose nitrate, ethyl cellulose, etc. The use of DOS can significantly improve the cold resistance and durability of resin materials.

3. DOS is applied in the rubber industry:

DOS is also used as a low-temperature plasticizer for various synthetic rubbers, such as ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber. The use of DOS does not affect the vulcanization process of rubber, and DOS can also maintain good elasticity and flexibility of rubber in low-temperature environments, preventing brittleness and breakage.

4. DOS is applied in food packaging materials:

Due to the low toxicity of DOS, countries such as the United States and the Netherlands allow DOS to be used as a plasticizer in the production of food-contact polyvinyl chloride films, containers, and other packaging materials.

5. DOS is applied in the production of artificial leather:

Thanks to DOS’s excellent cold resistance, DOS is also used in the production of artificial leather. The use of DOS prevents artificial leather from hardening and becoming brittle in low temperatures, maintaining a soft feel and beautiful appearance, and increasing the durability and applicability of artificial leather.
