Dioctyl adipate (DOA) is a cold-resistant plasticizer with large market development potential in the future.
Dioctyl adipate (DOA) is usually synthesized under acid catalysis using adipic acid and ethylhexanol isooctyl alcohol as raw materials. Dioctyl adipate is a colorless, non-toxic, odorless liquid, insoluble in water, and soluble in most organic solvents. Dioctyl adipate is an excellent cold-resistant plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It has excellent stability, water resistance, lubricity, low-temperature flexibility, and is environmentally friendly and non-toxic. In recent years, with the development of green Due to the increase in market demand for plasticizers and the adjustment of the plasticizer industry structure, the market size of dioctyl adipate has gradually expanded.
According to the “2021-2026 China Dioctyl Adipate (DOA) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report》 shows that globally, the consumer market for dioctyl adipate is mainly concentrated in North America, Asia, Europe and other regions. Asia is the largest consumer market in the world, and China is one of the major producing countries in this region. .
Dioctyl adipate has excellent cold resistance and can be used to produce cold-resistant agricultural films, wires and cables, artificial leather, frozen food packaging films, sheets, greenhouse films and other products. At present, my country’s production capacity of dioctyl adipate is sufficient to meet domestic market demand. However, due to limitations in technology, production processes, catalysts, etc., there is still a certain gap between domestic dioctyl adipate and foreign products. Therefore, high-end dioctyl adipate is Octyl ester is still dependent on imports.
my country is the world’s largest producer and consumer of plasticizers. In recent years, as environmental protection supervision has become increasingly strict, the plasticizer industry has been upgrading, and the market demand for new, environmentally friendly, and non-toxic plasticizers has been released. Against this background Under the situation, the market attention of dioctyl adipate plasticizer has increased. At present, there are more than 40 dioctyl adipate plasticizer manufacturers in my country, mainly concentrated in Shandong, Zhejiang, Anhui, Guangdong and other regions, including Shandong Yuanli Technology Co., Ltd., Shandong Kexing Chemical Co., Ltd., Anhui Tianyi Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., Shandong Lanfan Group Co., Ltd., etc.
There are currently many catalysts used to synthesize dioctyl adipate. Common catalysts include inorganic acid catalysts, organic acid catalysts, titanate catalysts and solid acid catalysts. At present, there are still certain drawbacks in the synthesis process of dioctyl adipate. The development of new high-quality, efficient, easy-to-separate, and low-cost catalysts has become one of the important topics in the catalytic synthesis of dioctyl adipate.
Industry analysts said that dioctyl adipate is an excellent cold-resistant plasticizer that is environmentally friendly and non-toxic. In recent years, In recent years, with the improvement of relevant production technology levels, my country’s dioctyl adipate industrial structure has gradually been optimized, and the production capacity of high-end products has been steadily improved. The downstream application fields of dioctyl adipate involve food, medicine, agricultural films, artificial leather and other fields. In the future, as market demand upgrades, the market development space of dioctyl adipate will be large.
