Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate: Applications & Products

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, also called di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), and incorrectly called dioctyl phthalate (DOP), is an organic compound with the formula C6H4(CO2C8H17)2. DEHP is the most common member of the class of phthalates, which are used as plasticizers. It is the diester of phthalic acid and the branched-chain…
