Applications
Di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (DOTP) is a general purpose plasticizer that is considered safer than ortho-phthalate plasticizers due to its excellent toxicological profile. It has uses in applications like extrusion, calendaring, injection molding, rotational molding, dip molding, slush molding and coating. As well as its uses in the plastics industry it is also commonly used in the paints and varnishes industry. DOTP is used in a number of other processes and products including the manufacture of high-temperature cables, automotive plastic parts and leatherette. It is extensively used in paper finishing in the calendaring process.
