  • 2-ethylhexyl methyl terephthalate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate blend plasticizers
    Patent number: 12703785
    Abstract: The invention provides a plasticizer for use in plastic materials such as polyvinyl chloride. The plasticizer is a blend of di-(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DOTP) and 2-ethylhexyl methyl terephthalate (MOTP). The blend of di-(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate and 2-ethylhexyl methyl terephthalate provides a non-ortho-phthalate alternative to plasticizers such as diisononyl phthalate and also produces good fusion temperature, gelation point, plastisol viscosity, efficiency, plasticizer compatibility, and drying time performance.
