Dioctyl adipate (DOA) is a diester of adipic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. It is a colorless, odorless liquid that is commonly used as a plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other polymers. DOA is synthesized by reacting adipic acid with 2-ethylhexanol in the presence of a catalyst. It is known for its good compatibility with PVC and other polymers, and for its ability to improve the flexibility, durability, and processing properties of these materials. DOA has also been used as a solvent and a lubricant. It is a relatively inert compound, but it has been reported to have some adverse effects on human health, including irritation of the skin and eyes. DOA is also a potential endocrine disruptor. Research on DOA focuses on understanding its environmental fate and transport, its potential toxicity to humans and wildlife, and its impact on the environment. These studies are important for ensuring the safe and sustainable use of this plasticizer.'
