Kanatol 1001 (DIDP) is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid, free of foreign materials. It is soluble in most organic solvent and in soluble in water. Around 95% of DIDP is used in PVC as a plasticizer. More than half of the remaining 5% is used in the production of polymers other than PVC (e.g. rubbers).
