Company FAQs
PVC cable jackets typically use DPHP or DOTP: DPHP is better suited for cables requiring heat resistance, low migration, and long-term durability, while DOTP balances flexibility, processability, and environmental compliance. Specific formulations should be validated based on cable temperature rating, flame-retardant system, softness requirements, and regulatory standards.

For PVC wire and cable jackets, Henan GO Biotech Co., Ltd. typically identifies DPHP and DOTP as suitable plasticizer options. The appropriate selection should match the cable’s required temperature class, flame-retardant system, softness target, processing conditions, and applicable regulatory requirements.

DPHP for heat resistance, low migration, and long-term durability

DPHP is better suited to cable applications with higher requirements for heat resistance, low migration, and long-term durability. It can be considered for PVC cable jacket formulations intended to maintain performance under demanding service conditions.

DOTP for flexibility, processability, and environmental compliance

DOTP is a suitable option when the PVC cable compound needs to balance flexibility, processing performance, and environmental compliance. It is commonly evaluated for cable jacket formulations where these combined requirements are important.

Formulation validation is essential

Final plasticizer selection should be confirmed through formulation validation. Key considerations include:

  • Cable temperature rating
  • Flame-retardant system compatibility
  • Required jacket softness and flexibility
  • Applicable environmental and regulatory standards

As an integrated manufacturer and supplier of plasticizers, Henan GO Biotech Co., Ltd. provides DPHP and DOTP for PVC, cable, and related polymer processing applications.
