Description
A light-color liquid commonly called bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate. Dioctyl phthalate is used as a Plasticizer in Cellulose acetate, Cellulose acetate butyrate, Polystyrene, Vinyl chloride, and vinyl chloride acetate polymers. Polymers may contain DOP in concentrations of 1-40%. The European Commission has banned the use of many phthalates, including DOP, in PVC toys.
