  • Applications

    Decyl 2-ethylhexyl phthalate (CAS 85391-46-4) is primarily used as a plasticizer for PVC and other polymers, enabling improved flexibility and processability; it is also employed in coatings and inks as a plasticizing additive, in adhesive formulations to increase elasticity and bond flexibility, and within elastomer and resin systems to impart film elasticity; additionally, it serves as a softening additive in flexible vinyl films for consumer goods and automotive interiors, and as a processing aid in industrial polymer formulations.
