UNIPLEX 125-A
DIOCTYL ADIPATE
[
DI (2-ETHYL HEXYL) ADIPATE
]
CAS NO. 103-23-1
Uniplex 125-A
is a versatile plasticizer that is compatible with many polymers, including
polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl butyral, ethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose, and
cellulose acetate butyate.
Uniplex 125-A
is approved as an indirect food addition under 21CFR 175.105, 177.1210,
177.2600, and 178.3740.
Uniplex 125-A
provides superior flexibility to vinyl products at low temperatures compared to
dioctylphthalate.
In comparison to dioctylphthalate, Uniplex 125-A is advantageous in preparing vinyl dispersions
with low initial and stable viscosity.
The electrical resistivity and low dissipation factor of Uniplex 125-A make it especially useful in
electrical insulation applications. Other suggested applications are polyvinyl chloride film,
polyvinylidine chloride film, and adhesive and coatings formulations.
