Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate also known as dioctyl adipate (DOA) can be used as a plasticizer for improving the impact properties of polymers. DOA is also used to produce clear films for food packaging applications and in synthetic rubber industries due to its compatibility with nitrocellulose and ethylcellulose.
생산 방법
DEHA is manufactured by esterification of adipic acid and
2-ethylhexanol.
정의
ChEBI: A diester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy groups of adipic acid with 2-ethylhexan-1-ol. It is used as a plasticiser in the preparation of various polymers.
일반 설명
Colorless to straw-colored liquid with a mild odor. Floats on water.
공기와 물의 반응
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate slowly hydrolyzes. Insoluble in water.
반응 프로필
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Can generate electrostatic charges. [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 250]. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate is incompatible with oxidizing materials and water. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate is also incompatible with nitrates.
건강위험
Liquid may cause mild eye irritation. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause irritation.
화재위험
Behavior in Fire: Use water spray to cool exposed containers.
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by intravenous route. Mildly toxic by ingestion. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. An eye and skin irritant. Questionable carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic data. See also ESTERS. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
