Diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalate
What is 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.
Where is Diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalate used?
- Flexible PVC compounding: primary plasticizer with low-temperature flexibility and reduced volatility versus standard phthalate esters
- Packaging films and laminates: low migration, seal integrity, food-contact or sensitive-end-use requirements
- Printing and packaging substrates: ink adhesion and film performance in coated or printed flexible materials
- It is also evaluated in specialty polymer blends for long-term use.
Good to know: Unlike conventional phthalate plasticizers, it offers a non-phthalate alternative where regulatory compliance or migration performance is a formulation priority.
