Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP) is a versatile Technical/Cosmetic Grade ester used widely as a primary plasticizer and solvent. Featuring 99.5% purity, it provides high clarity and excellent flexibility to a range of polymer systems.
This clear, colorless liquid possesses high stability and low volatility. It is particularly effective for plasticizing cellulose acetate, where it improves impact strength and clarity. In the cosmetics sector, it serves as a high-performance solvent and fixative.
DMP is also utilized in the production of industrial coatings and as a carrier for various organic catalysts. Its excellent solvency profile and reliable performance make it a staple in advanced polymer and fine chemical manufacturing.
APPLICATIONS
- Cellulose Plasticizer: Essential for achieving high flexibility and clarity in cellulose acetate-based plastics.
- Cosmetic Solvent: Functions as a fixative in perfumes and as a solvent in nail polishes and hair sprays.
- ndustrial Carrier: Used as a carrier for organic peroxides (e.g., MEKP) and various agricultural active ingredients.
