    Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) – Plasticisers product from BG Petro Chemicals

    Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP)

    Dioctyl phthalate (DOP, or DEHP; CAS 117-81-7) was long the reference general-purpose PVC plasticiser. It is classified in the EU as toxic for reproduction, category 1B, and listed in REACH Annex XIV, so supply depends on authorisation and a permitted end use.

    Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) – Plasticisers product from BG Petro Chemicals

    Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP)

    Diisononyl phthalate (DINP, CAS 28553-12-0 / 68515-48-0) is a high molecular weight PVC plasticiser. Its longer branched chains make it less volatile and harder to extract than DEHP. It is limited to 0.1% in toys and childcare articles that children can mouth.

    Di(2-propylheptyl) Phthalate (DPHP) – Plasticisers product from BG Petro Chemicals

    Di(2-propylheptyl) Phthalate (DPHP)

    DPHP (CAS 53306-54-0) is a high molecular weight phthalate made from a branched C10 alcohol, chosen for low volatility and migration and good electrical resistivity in PVC cable insulation. It sits outside the low molecular weight group that carries the reproductive-toxicity classification.

    DOTP - Dioctyl Terephthalate – Plasticisers product from BG Petro Chemicals

    DOTP - Dioctyl Terephthalate

    DOTP (dioctyl terephthalate, CAS 6422-86-2) is a general-purpose PVC plasticiser that is not an ortho-phthalate and is the main substitute for DEHP/DOP. It offers low volatility, good cold flexibility and good electrical properties for cable, film and flooring.

    Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) – Plasticisers product from BG Petro Chemicals

    Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)

    DBP (dibutyl phthalate, CAS 84-74-2) is a fast-gelling ortho-phthalate plasticiser whose small molecule solvates PVC and nitrocellulose strongly. Classified in the EU as toxic for reproduction (category 1B) and listed in REACH Annex XIV, it is offered only where the end use is authorised in the destination market.

    Dioctyl Adipate (DOA) – Plasticisers product from BG Petro Chemicals

    Dioctyl Adipate (DOA)

    Dioctyl adipate (DOA/DEHA, CAS 103-23-1) is an aliphatic PVC plasticiser. Its flexible chain keeps compounds pliable to around minus 40 °C, which suits cling film, freezer bags, and cable and hose for cold climates.
