What is Dioctyl terephthalate CAS 6422-86-2？

Dioctyl terephthalate CAS 6422-86-2 is a colorless or slightly yellowish oily liquid. Almost insoluble in water, with a solubility of 0.4% in water at 20 ℃. Compared with the commonly used diisooctyl phthalate (DOP), Dioctyl terephthalate has the advantages of heat resistance, cold resistance, low volatility, anti extraction, good flexibility, and electrical insulation performance. It exhibits excellent durability, soap water resistance, and low softness in products.
