Diallyl Phthalate(DAP),a colorless oil liquid, is used in the production of thermosetting molding powders, casting resins and laminates.
In additional to being used to produce thermosetting resin by providing good electrical insulation properties, heat resistance,water resistance,chemcial resisitance and molding, it is used in organic solvent free UV printing inks because of quick dying.
DAP is also used in environmentally friendly decorative laminate construction material which does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOC).
It is used both for the monomeric and polymeric forms. The monomer is used as a cross-linking agent in unsaturated polyester resins. As a polymer, it is used in the production of thermosetting molding powders, casting resins and laminates. This is the material of choice for critical, high-performance military and commercial electrical components where long-term reliability is demanded due to its ability to retain its superior insulating properties, even when subjected to extreme environmental conditions of high heat and high humidity over long time periods. Additionally, DAP compounds will resist dimensional change in high-heat soldering environments where competitive materials may warp.
