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.

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a well-known testicular toxicant inducing adverse effects in androgen responsive tissues. Therefore, di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) is currently being evaluated as a potential substitute for DEHP. Similarities in structure and metabolism of DEHP and DEHA have led

A method for trace analysis of two plasticizers, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) and di-2-ethylhexyl adipate (DEHA), contaminated in packaged curry paste were investigated by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Curry paste samples were extracted by ultrasonic and solid phase
