Octyl Benzyl Phthalate(OBP), also known as Octyl phenyl Phthalate, is an organic compound. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet smell at room temperature. OBP can be compatible with a variety of organic solvents and plastics, with good lipophilicity. Here is more information about OBP:
Nature:
-Density: 1.08g/cm³
-Boiling point: 384 ° C
-Melting point:-45 ° C
-Refractive Index: 1.502
-ignition point:> 160 ° C
Use:
- OBP is mainly used as a plastic additive to enhance the softness and durability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other plastics.
-Due to its good lipophilicity, OBP is also used as a wetting agent in lubricants and risk material care products.
- OBP is also widely used in coatings, inks, sealants, and industrial and household cleaning products.
Preparation Method:
The preparation of-OBP is usually obtained by The esterification reaction (transesterification reaction) of benzoic acid and octanol.
Safety Information:
- OBP is potentially toxic to humans. Exposure to long-term or high concentrations may cause irritation of the respiratory tract, skin, and eyes.
- OBP may also affect the reproductive system, endocrine system and nervous system, so it needs to be used with caution.
-After contact with OBP, rinse the affected skin area with water immediately. If eye contact occurs, rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
