February 28/2012

(news.szenergy) -- Jinling Petrochemical Corporation (China), a Sinopec’s subsidiary, took offline its 100,000 ton/year dioctyl phthalate facility due to tight feedstock 2-ethylhexanol supply. Dioctyl phthalate plant is located in east China.

The facility being shut in February 19, is scheduled to be restarted in March 5. Jinling Petrochemical ‘s dioctyl phthalate (DOP) inventory may continue till late February.

Due to its suitable properties and the low cost, dioctyl phthalate is widely used as a plasticizer in manufacturing of articles made of PVC. Plastics may contain 1% to 40% of dioctyl phthalate . It is also used as a hydraulic fluid and as a dielectric fluid in capacitors. Dioctyl phthalate also finds use as a solvent in glowsticks.
