Import Tips
• ASTM D1045 test certificate mandatory showing acid number <0.1 mg KOH/g and color <50 Pt-Co
• Verify 2-ethylhexanol source purity; C8 alternatives disqualify from dioctyl orthophthalate specificity
• Density 0.983-0.986 g/cm³ at 20°C confirmation prevents density-based purity disputes
