Dioctyl phthalate (DOP)

DOP is still widely used as a plasticizer in selected applications where volatiles are less of an issue. It is also used as a hydraulic fluid and as a dielectric fluid in capacitors. DOP was the most widely used material as a plasticizer in manufacturing of articles made of PVC. Due to toxicity reasons, its usage has dropped and has been replaced by lower volatile phthalate and phthalate free products in some PVC and other applications.
