High Temperature Plasticizers (TOTM, DOA, TINTM)

Plasticizers used in PVC applications requiring high temperature resistance must offer both long-term thermal stability and low volatility. In this article, we examine the properties of high temperature plasticizers such as TOTM, DOA and TINTM.

1. TOTM (Trioctyl Trimellitate)

• Very low volatility

• High temperature resistance

• Device cables, automotive applications

• Excellent extraction resistance

2. DOA (Dioctyl Adipate)

• Low temperature flexibility → cold weather applications

• Options suitable for food contact

• High transparency

3. TINTM (Triisononyl Trimellitate)

• Heat resistance similar to TOTM

• Faster processing properties

• Medium-high ideal for temperature applications

Applications

• Cable sheaths exposed to high temperatures

• Automotive interior parts

• Heat resistant PVC profiles

• Hoses requiring a wide temperature range

Result

Each The heat resistance, volatility value and migration level of the plasticizer are different. Appropriate plasticizer selection and usage It should be done according to the requirements of the environment.
