Dioctyl Adipate - DOA

Dioctyl adipate, or DOA, is an oily liquid that is most frequently used as a plasticizer for PVC. It’s light in color and may be used in combination with other plasticizers or by itself. DOA is soluble in oil but not water. Because of its low cost, suitable properties and manufacturing by many companies, DOA goes by many names, including bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and adipic acid di(2-ethylhexyl) ester.
