  • What is a DOTP plasticizer?
  • DOTP, derived from the esterification of terephthalic acid and 2-ethylhexanol with a chemical formula of C24H38O4, functions primarily as a plasticizer aimed at instilling flexibility and resilience into PVC products.
  • Why is the Dioctyl terephthalate market growing?
  • The escalating regulatory scrutiny and constraints on the utilization of phthalate-based plasticizers, prompted by environmental and health considerations, have fueled the Dioctyl Terephthalate Market growth of non-phthalate alternatives such as DOTP.
  • How have plasticizer imports impacted the oxo-alcohol industry?
  • Imports of all general-purpose plasticizers have been competitive, as freight rates fell and the local markets in Asia failed to show any demand improvement, particularly China on which hopes had been pinned. As gas prices and propylene costs have gradually come down, oxo-alcohol producers have been less squeezed.
  • Why did DPHP and DIDP plasticizers become more competitive?
  • Their sacrifice of some of the high-performance elements of these plasticizers came at the expense of DPHP and DIDP markets. The trend created a more competitive environment for these two higher-priced plasticizers as producers attempted to maintain, and/or regain market share.
  • What is the ICIS pricing methodology for plasticizers?
  • This is the ICIS pricing methodology for plasticizers. ICIS quotes plasticizer prices in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the US Gulf. ICIS continuously develops, reviews and revises its methodologies in consultation with industry participants. Previous versions of this methodology can be found under Archived Documents.
  • Why do PVC compounders use low-priced plasticizers?
  • Some PVC compounders were opting for lower-priced plasticizers - such as DOTP - in certain cable applications (where workable). Their sacrifice of some of the high-performance elements of these plasticizers came at the expense of DPHP and DIDP markets.
