Diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalate

Diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalate (CAS 127474-91-3), also known commercially as CORAPAN TQ, is a naphthalate-based plasticizer used in polymer processing to improve flexibility and processability. Unlike conventional phthalate plasticizers, it offers a non-phthalate alternative for applications where regulatory compliance or migration performance is a formulation priority for manufacturers.

In flexible PVC compounding, it functions as a primary plasticizer, delivering good low-temperature flexibility and reduced volatility compared to standard phthalate esters used in the industry. Packaging films and laminates benefit from its low migration characteristics, which help maintain seal integrity and meet food-contact or sensitive-end-use requirements for various markets.

In printing and packaging substrates, it supports ink adhesion and film performance in coated or printed flexible materials. It is also evaluated in specialty polymer blends for long-term use. This chemical is particularly useful where long-term plasticizer retention is a key formulation criterion. It ensures that the final product maintains its physical properties over an extended period.

Diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalate is supplied as a liquid and is available in technical grade for industrial polymer and compounding applications. Bulk and drummed packaging formats are standard. These formats are designed for industrial procurement needs, ensuring efficient handling and storage. The product meets the necessary specifications for high-performance polymer manufacturing processes.
