Heat resistance and low volatility
High-temperature or continuously energized environments require control of volatilization, exudation, and performance degradation risks.
Henan GO Biotech Co., Ltd. provides structured plasticizer selection support for PVC wire and cable manufacturers. Through the synergistic use of primary and secondary plasticizers, we help balance electrical insulation, heat and cold resistance, migration resistance, environmental compliance, and formulation efficiency.
Plasticizers affect not only the flexibility and extrusion processability of PVC, but also the thermal aging, low-temperature bending, volatilization and migration, and long-term electrical stability of insulation and sheathing layers. A single product is generally unable to meet all requirements.
High-temperature or continuously energized environments require control of volatilization, exudation, and performance degradation risks.
Cold regions, cold storage facilities, and equipment cables require reduced risks of hardening and brittleness.
The plasticizer system should match the target electrical performance, migration control, and aging-resistance requirements.
Export, non-toxic, or specialized applications require consideration of both non-phthalate options and formulation cost efficiency.
The selection process follows: operating condition assessment — primary plasticizer matching — secondary component reinforcement — formulation validation.
DINP is used as a general-purpose primary plasticizer for standard cables and building wiring rated from 70°C to 90°C. It can be combined with ESBO to improve thermal stability and long-term formulation performance.
DPHP is designed for heat- and aging-resistance requirements. DOTP and DEHCH can be used in non-phthalate, environmentally friendly insulation systems. The specific selection should consider target market regulations, low-temperature requirements, and long-term service conditions.
TOTM is suitable for PVC wire and cable systems requiring higher heat-aging resistance, low volatility, extraction resistance, and insulation stability. It can be used for automotive wire harnesses, high-temperature cables, and internal wiring for industrial equipment.
DOA is commonly blended with DINP, DOTP, or DPHP to improve low-temperature flexibility. ATBC is suitable for specialized applications with material safety requirements, while EFAME can serve as an environmentally friendly secondary plasticizer to optimize cost and processing performance.
Note:Henan GO Biotech Co., Ltd. provides selection support for plasticizers including DINP, DPHP, DOTP, TOTM, DEHCH, DOA, ESBO, EFAME, and ATBC. Specific grades, addition ratios, and final performance depend on the raw material system, processing conditions, and end-use standards. Targeted formulation testing and compliance assessments should be completed before mass production.
DPHP is a phthalate plasticizer primarily used in flexible PVC, rubber, and other polymer materials. With its low volatility, low migration, good heat resistance, and stable processing performance, DPHP enhances the flexibility, durability, and long-term performance of materials, and is widely used in wires and cables, PVC flooring, artificial leather, automotive interiors, and industrial products.
