Description

Application

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate also known as dioctyl adipate (DOA) can be used as a plasticizer for improving the impact properties of polymers. DOA is also used to produce clear films for food packaging applications and in synthetic rubber industries due to its compatibility with nitrocellulose and ethylcellulose.
