Introduction

Dimethyl octanoate, with the chemical formula C10H18O4, also known as DOP (Di-n-octyl phthalate), is a colorless and transparent liquid. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of dimethyl octanoate:

Quality:

- Appearance: Colorless or yellowish liquid.

- Density: 1.014 g/mL at 25 °C (lit.)

- Melting Point: -1.6°C

- Boiling Point: 268 °C (lit.)

- Solubility: Dimethyl octanoate is soluble in organic solvents, such as alcohols, ethers and aromatics, and insoluble in water.

Use:

- Dimethyl octanoate is mainly used as a plastic additive and is widely used in the production of plastic products such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It can increase the plasticity and flexibility of plastics, improve processability and physical properties.

- Dimethyl octanoate is also commonly used as a solvent in other chemical products such as coatings, adhesives, inks, and perfumes.

Method:

- The preparation method of dimethyl octanoate is usually obtained by esterification reaction using n-octane and phthalic acid as raw materials.

Safety Information:

- Dimethyl octanoate is considered relatively safe under general conditions of use.

- Due to its low volatility, it poses less risk of inhalation or exposure to humans. However, at high temperatures, toxic fumes and harmful gases may be produced.

- Long-term and frequent exposure can be harmful to health, can cause skin sensitivity or irritation, and can be irritating to the respiratory and digestive systems.

- When using dimethyl octamate, take necessary safety measures, such as wearing protective gloves and glasses, and maintaining good ventilation.
