Dioctyl sebacate (DOS) is an excellent plasticizer widely used in a variety of plastics and rubber products. Its main advantages include:
1. Excellent low-temperature flexibility: DOS gives plastics the characteristics of remaining soft and not easy to brittle in low-temperature environments. It is particularly suitable for applications in cold areas or low-temperature environments, such as low-temperature cables, wire sheaths, etc., to ensure the performance of materials in extremely cold conditions.
2. Good high temperature resistance: DOS has excellent thermal stability and can be used for a long time under high temperature conditions without volatilization or degradation, which significantly improves the service life of the product and is widely used in automotive parts, industrial equipment and other plastic products in high-temperature environments.
3. Low volatility: Compared with some traditional plasticizers, DOS has lower volatility, which reduces the migration of plasticizers during use, can effectively improve the safety and durability of materials, and reduce performance degradation in long-term use.
4. Good compatibility: DOS has excellent compatibility with a variety of polymer materials (such as PVC, EVA, synthetic rubber, etc.), can improve the processing performance, flexibility and anti-aging performance of plastics, and is suitable for various complex formulas and material systems.
5. Excellent oil resistance: In applications that require oil resistance such as automotive fuel hoses, sealing strips, rubber products, etc., DOS has shown excellent performance, can effectively resist the erosion of oil substances and extend the service life of products.
6. Superior electrical insulation performance: DOS has excellent electrical insulation performance, making it an ideal plasticizer in the field of wires and cables, which can effectively improve the insulation effect of wires and ensure the safety and stability of power systems.
7. Environmentally friendly and low toxicity: Compared with traditional phthalate plasticizers (such as DOP plasticizer), DOS has lower toxicity and meets more stringent environmental and health standards. It is suitable for food contact materials, medical devices and other fields with high safety requirements.
