What are the upstream raw materials of DOA? What are the downstream products?

In the field of chemical production raw materials, DOA(dioctyl adipate) has many upstream and downstream related items. I've found that The following are some of the main upstream and downstream related items of DOA:



1. In my experience, Upstream items:(1) Adipic acid: Adipic acid is one of the main raw materials of DOA and is applied to create DOA and other ester items. The production methods of adipic acid mainly include phenol method, cyclohexane method and nitric acid method. And(2) Octanol: Octanol is another main raw material of DOA, usually from ethylene by the oxo synthesis method. Octanol is mainly applied in the production of plasticizers and solvents. For example

2. Downstream items:(1)PVC plasticizer: DOA, as a frequently applied plasticizer, is broadly applied in PVC items, such as wire and cable, artificial leather, film, etc. DOA is able to increase the flexibility, ductility and processability of PVC. In particular(2) Rubber additives: DOA is able to be applied in rubber items as a softener and plasticizer to enhance the elasticity and processing performance of rubber. Generally speaking(3) Coatings and inks: DOA is able to be applied as solvents and plasticizers in coatings and inks to enhance the fluidity and film-forming characteristics of coatings and inks. In short, DOA has a wide range of upstream and downstream related items in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its consumption fields involve PVC items, rubber items, coatings and inks.
