Dioctyl Fumarate (DOF) is an organic compound primarily used as an internal plasticizer in polymerization and copolymerization processes. It plays a crucial role in the production of various polymers, such as vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, acrylates, and styrene, by enhancing their flexibility and mechanical properties. Additionally, it is used in the production of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate and as an additive in lubricants.
Properties and Applications:
-
Internal Plasticizer: Dioctyl fumarate (DOF) functions as an internal plasticizer, meaning it integrates into the polymer structure during polymerization. This improves the flexibility and pliability of the resulting polymers.
-
Polymerization and Copolymerization: When added during polymerization or copolymerization, DOF helps enhance the mechanical properties of polymers, making them more resistant to fracture and deformation. This makes it valuable in manufacturing durable polymer products.
-
Plastic Applications: DOF is frequently used in plastic products to improve processing properties and durability. It aids in reducing viscosity during the production process, improving the overall workability of the material.
-
Increased Durability: Dioctyl fumarate (DOF) also enhances resistance to degradation and external influences, making it beneficial in various industrial applications where long-lasting performance is required.
Safety:
Dioctyl fumarate is generally considered safe when used in the recommended quantities for industrial processes. However, it is always important to follow safety guidelines and adhere to relevant regulations when working with any chemical compound.
Dioctyl Fumarate (DOF) is available in Bulk, IBC, Drums, and Cans.
