Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) is the most common plasticizer from the phthalate family and is still one of the main, most widely used, and most cost-effective softeners for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in the plastic industry worldwide. It is an oily transparent liquid, produced by the esterification of phthalic anhydride and diethylhexanol. It is insoluble in water, odorless, with high thermal stability and UV resistance.
