Delivery specification

* These properties are not measured routinely

** Calculated by multiplying the measured kinematic viscosity (DIN 51562) with the density

*** See GC conditions. (General information on gas chromatography is given , e. g. in Lit [1]).

Properties

Our DOP is a nearly colourless, clear and practically anhydrous liquid with a hardly noticeable odour. It is soluble in the usual organic solvents and is miscible and compatible with all of the monomeric plasticizers commonly used in PVC. our DOP is almost insoluble in water.

Physicaldata 

The following physical data were measured in the our company’s

laboratories. They do not represent any legally-binding guarantee of properties for our sales product.

(The Antoine constants were determined from vapour pressure data measured in the temperature range of 100 to 300 °C by a dynamic method in an argon atmosphere. The values in the table were calculated using the Antoine equation. The data serve only as a rough guide.)

* Calculated using the following equation: r= (– 0.00074T + 0.9994) from data

(r= Density in g/cm3,T = Temperature in °C)

 Solution temperature at the clear point:   124 °C (5 % S-PVC; K value 71; method based on DIN 53408)

Specific heat Cr                :  1.69 –1.91 J/gK range of 20 °C to 100 °C (calculated from literature data).

Surface tension at 20°C : 31.1 mN/m (DIN EN14370)
