Adipic acid diester plasticizers for PVC:
Example: DEHP, di-2-ethyl-hexyl phthalate ester
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP, CAS No [117-81-7]) is also known as di-octyl phthalate (DOP). In Western Europe it accounts for 30% of all plasticiser usage and as such is generally considered as the industry standard.
