Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) is an oily liquid with high transparency, a subtle odor, a linear structure, low migration rate, and non-toxic properties. It is making it the most commonly used and a cost-effective alternative to DOP. It is important to note that unlike DOP, DOTP does not belong to the phthalate family. Consequently, it is extensively employed as a softener in the manufacturing of a wide range of PVC products. It is crucial to mention that the use of DOTP is not prohibited in the euro area.
