The results of this study demonstrate that high molecular weight and predominantly linear diundecyl phthalate (DUP) provide improved performance properties and cost savings when used as a partial or total replacement for trimellitate plasticizers in critical applications such as vinyl electrical insulations and crashpad covers. DUP is shown to be a permanent and stable plasticizer with a high efficiency in improving low‐temperature flexibility of formulated vinyls.
