- Also known as
- DOTP
- DEHT
- Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) Terephthalate
- Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Terephthalate
Dioctyl terephthalate supplier for flexible PVC and industrial plasticiser buyers in Malaysia. Also ordered as DOTP, DEHT, bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate and di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate, this clear oily liquid is the commercial terephthalate plasticiser used in cable, flooring, hose, film and coated fabric compounds.
Commercial offers are usually selected as industrial plasticiser grade, a general-purpose flexible PVC grade, or a cable, flooring and coated-fabric grade against stated colour, volatility or purity limits. This page covers commercial DOTP and DEHT only, not dioctyl phthalate (DOP), DINP, DEP or DBP.
Compounders use dioctyl terephthalate as a primary plasticiser in flexible PVC for insulation, sheathing, sheet and artificial leather, and in selected adhesives, sealants, coatings and rubber recipes that list DOTP or DEHT. Packing and documentation follow the grade quoted for the enquiry.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about dioctyl terephthalate
Is DOTP the same as DEHT and dioctyl terephthalate?
Yes. DOTP, DEHT, dioctyl terephthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate and di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate are commercial names for the same terephthalate plasticiser offered on this page. State the name your specification uses and any assay or colour limits with the enquiry.
Is DOTP the same product as DOP or dioctyl phthalate?
No. DOTP is dioctyl terephthalate (DEHT). DOP as sold commercially is a different ortho-phthalate ester and is covered on its own product page. DINP, DEP and DBP are also separate materials. Order by the full chemical name or the abbreviation on your specification so the quotation matches the right ester.
What is dioctyl terephthalate used for industrially?
DOTP is used as a primary plasticiser in flexible PVC for cable insulation and sheathing, flooring, hose, tubing, artificial leather, film and coated fabrics. It also appears in selected adhesives, sealants, coatings and rubber compounds. Describe the finished article when enquiring so grade selection is clear.
Which DOTP grade should I request?
Industrial plasticiser grade suits general compounding. General-purpose flexible PVC grade is the usual choice for hose, sheet, film and coated fabrics. Cable, flooring and coated-fabric duties often need stated colour, volatility or purity limits. Send the target specification with the enquiry.
What specifications matter on a DOTP enquiry?
Buyers commonly confirm appearance, assay, colour, acid value, moisture and volatile loss against the formulation. Include the current specification or a representative sample requirement so the quoted grade can be checked against it. Technical identifiers are confirmed on the lot documents for the material offered.
How do I get a DOTP price in Malaysia?
Send the grade or specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any documentation needs so the quotation can address the complete requirement. Prices are given on enquiry with a stated validity period.
