Dioctyl maleate (DOM) is a clear, colorless liquid with an ester-like odor. It is widely used as a chemical intermediate and building block in several chemical production processes. For example, it is utilized in coating applications and the production of derivatives of succinic acid. It also finds application as a comonomer in vinyl and acrylic emulsion polymerization for paints and adhesives and a phthalate-free alternative to common phthalate-based plasticizers like dioctyl phthalate (DOP). Nowadays, it is copolymerized with monomers, such as styrene, vinyl acetate and acrylates, to provide elasticity and flexibility to the films.
