High Temperature Plasticizers (TOTM, DOA, TINTM)
Plasticizers used in PVC applications requiring high temperature resistance should offer both long-term thermal stability and low volatility. In this article, we examine the properties of high-temperature plasticizers such as TOTM, DOA, and TINTM.
used in PVC applications requiring high temperature resistance should offer both long-term thermal stability and low volatility. In this article, we examine the properties of high-temperature plasticizers such as TOTM, DOA, and TINTM.
1. TOTM (Trioctyl Trimellitate)
Very low volatility
High temperature resistance
Device cables, automotive applications
Excellent extraction resistance
2. DOA (Dioctyl Adipate)
Low temperature flexibility → cold weather applications
Food-themed options
High transparency
3. TINTM (Triisononyl Trimellitate)
Heat resistance similar to
TOTMFaster machining capabilities
Medium-high ideal for temperature applications
Applications
Cable sheaths exposed to high temperature
Automotive interiors
Heat-resistant PVC profiles
Hoses requiring wide temperature range
Conclusion
Theheat resistance, volatility value and migration level of each plasticizer are different. Appropriate plasticizer selection, use should be done according to the requirements of the environment.
