Full Description

Diisononyl phthalate (DINP, CAS 28553-12-0) is a general-purpose ortho-phthalate ester plasticizer. It is used primarily to soften polyvinyl chloride and flexible vinyls, imparting flexibility to products such as wire and cable, flooring, and coated fabrics. It is also used in adhesives, plastisols, and nitrocellulose lacquer coatings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is diisononyl phthalate (DINP) used for?

DINP (CAS 28553-12-0) is a general-purpose ortho-phthalate ester plasticizer. It is used primarily to soften polyvinyl chloride and flexible vinyls in products such as wire and cable insulation, flooring, and coated fabrics. It also serves as a plasticizer in plastisols, adhesives, and nitrocellulose lacquer coatings.

What is the CAS number and molecular formula of DINP?

Diisononyl phthalate has CAS number 28553-12-0 and molecular formula C26H42O4. It belongs to the ester family of plasticizers. A CoA referencing this CAS ships with every bulk lot.

Is DINP the same as DEHP?

No. DINP (CAS 28553-12-0) and DEHP are distinct ortho-phthalate esters with different alcohol chains and different CAS numbers. DINP is a higher-molecular-weight general-purpose plasticizer often specified where a C9-branched phthalate is required rather than DEHP.

What HS code does DINP ship under?

DINP is classified under HS heading 2917.33. Confirm the destination-country tariff line and any import documentation with your customs broker before shipment.

How is bulk DINP packaged and priced?

RawSource supplies DINP in drums, totes, and IBCs for PVC, plastisol, and coatings manufacturers. Pricing is quote-based and tied to volume and packaging; request a current bulk quote with your target grade and quantity.
