Abstract

In this article, di(2-ethylhexyl)-1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylate (DEHCH) was synthesized via esterification between hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) and iso-octanol by using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds after addition of the synthesized plasticizer DEHCH presented similar plasticizing performance with diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), di(isononyl)-1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylate (DINCH), Trioctyl trimellitate,1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid tris(2-ethylhexyl) ester (TOTM) and Acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC). As demonstrated by comparisons of the results of mechanical properties, transparency, and volatilization and migration tests obtained for plasticized PVC compounds. We also investigate a variety of plasticizer composite plasticizing performance of the product, blending of DEHCH and TOTM and blending of DEHCH with ATBC to plasticizing the PVC. DEHCH can also be considered as an alternative plasticizer for DEHP.
