Overview of Dioctyl Maleate
Dioctyl Maleate is a ester-based chemical that is widely utilized within Plastic & Rubber Chemicals as flexible and reactive plasticizer increaser. It's primarily used in enhancing elasticity, softness and compatibility of polymer systems. Due to its chemical structure, Dioctyl Maleate also participates in polymer reactions, making it suitable for advanced plastic and rubber formulations.
For non-technical understanding, Dioctyl Maleate helps plastics and rubbers become more flexible, durable, and easier to process. It is commonly used where long-term performance, good low-temperature behavior, and balanced mechanical properties are required.
Dioctyl Maleate is often formulated alongside chemicals such as Cobalt Octoate, Zinc Stearate, and 1,4-Butanediol to improve curing efficiency, processing stability, and final product performance.

Applications of Dioctyl Maleate
Plasticizer for Plastics
Dioctyl Maleate is added to PVC and other polymers as a plasticizer to make them more flexible, softer, and able to stretch further. It also helps these materials mix better with resins in specialty plastic products.
Rubber Compounding
When used in rubber, Dioctyl Maleate increases elasticity and resilience, and makes processing easier. It helps the ingredients mix evenly and ensures the finished rubber products have consistent strength.
Polymer & Resin Modification
Dioctyl Maleate works as a active modifier in resins as well as polymer blends. This helps the materials to adhere better, remain flexible and maintain their stability over time in special polymer systems.
Industrial Chemical Formulations
It is used extensively in chemical blends used in industry with a need for the control of flexibility, durability as well as resistance to chemical corrosive substances. It is particularly important for sealing, coatings, and other elastomeric materials.
Safety & Handling Guidelines
Storage & Handling
