Product Description
Diethyl phthalate is an important organic compound that exists as a colorless, transparent, oily liquid at room temperature with a faint aromatic scent. Its most significant property is its ability to dissolve various polymeric materials and exhibit good miscibility with many organic solvents. Consequently, it is primarily used as a plasticizer added to plastics, paints, and rubber to enhance product flexibility, extensibility, and durability.
Additionally, due to its excellent solvent properties, this compound is widely used in daily chemical products such as fragrances, cosmetics, and nail polish as a fixative and solvent. It also serves as an excipient in certain pharmaceutical products and pesticide formulations. It is important to note that its use in some areas has raised discussions regarding potential health and environmental impacts, necessitating compliance with relevant regulations and standards.
