Uses/Applications

Polymer Modifications
Dioctyl Maleate (DOM) is commonly used as a comonomer in the polymerization of various vinyl and acrylic monomers to produce copolymers with tailored properties. These copolymers find applications in:

• Coatings and paints: DOM-containing copolymers can improve adhesion, flexibility, and weather resistance in coatings and paints.
• Adhesives and sealants: DOM-based copolymers enhance the adhesive strength and flexibility of adhesives and sealants.
• Polymer films and sheets: DOM copolymers are utilized to improve the mechanical properties and processability of polymer films and sheets.

Plasticizers
Dioctyl Maleate is employed as a plasticizer in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other polymers. As a plasticizer, it imparts flexibility and improves the processing characteristics of plastics, making them more suitable for applications such as:

• PVC flooring and wall coverings
• PVC cables and wires
• PVC films and sheets for packaging and wrapping

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
Dioctyl Maleate is used in the oil and gas industry as a component in enhanced oil recovery processes. It serves as a surfactant and viscosity modifier in flooding operations to improve the displacement efficiency of oil from reservoirs, leading to increased oil production.

Chemical Intermediates
Dioctyl Maleate can act as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of various specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It undergoes reactions to form functionalized compounds that find applications in diverse industries such as:

• Specialty coatings and resins
• Surfactants and detergents
• Pharmaceuticals and personal care products

Textile Auxiliaries
Dioctyl maleate is utilized as an auxiliary agent in the textile industry to modify the properties of fibers and fabrics. It can improve the dyeability, softness, and crease resistance of textiles, enhancing their performance and appearance in end-use applications.
