Dioctyl Phthalate (D.O.P.)

Plasticizers  have  been found to be used largely  by  vinyl
industry, where they improve processability of resins and inhance
the properties of the end product.   The first successful use  of
end  product.   The first successful use of a plasticizer in  the
preparation   of  a  plastic,  however,  was  long   before   the
development of polyvinyl chloride.  When the Hyatt brothers  used
camphor  to plasticizer nitrocellulose, about 1868,  and  thereby
brought  celluloid  into  existance  the  invention  marked   the
begining  of  both the plastics and the  plasticizer  industries.
Camphor was replaced by tripheniyl phosphate after some years and
a   little   later  trieresyl  phosphate  was  also   used   with
nitrocellulose.   In the early 1920’s phthalates were  introduced
but  the demand for plasticizers remained small, limited  largely
by its dependence on the market for cellulose nitrate plastics.
