The Use of DOP Plasticizer? Plastics often suffer from rigidity and cracking under stress. This problem leads to product failures and wasted resources. Understanding DOP plasticizer reveals how flexibility and durability can be restored in materials such as PVC. DOP (dioctyl phthalate) works by inserting itself between polymer chains, lowering the glass transition temperature and […]

What are Plasticizers？ Plasticizers are additives that increase polymer flexibility and processability by reducing glass transition temperature and enhancing chain mobility. They make materials more durable and adaptable for end-use applications. I’ll walk you through what plasticizers do and why they matter for material design and manufacturing. What Are Plasticizers and How Do They Work？
