Shandong Changxing Plastic Additives Co., Ltd. participated in AP-RubberPlas 2026 at the Qingdao World Expo City International Exhibition Center. Over four days at Hall N3, Booth C78, the foreign trade team held face-to-face discussions with buyers and distributors from Spain, Yemen, Pakistan, and India. These four meetings were documented photographically. The exhibition's official cross-border procurement matchmaking session brought together buyers from 26 countries and more than 55 overseas enterprises, including participants from Russia, Germany, Cuba, Serbia, and Egypt (source: AP-RubberPlas 2026 official matchmaking program). Discussions focused on DOTP plasticizer, DCP, MEG, 2-octanol, and related chemical intermediates. This article records the exhibition activities, the products discussed, and the follow-up actions agreed on site.
This recap is intended for PVC compounders, plasticizer distributors, and procurement managers evaluating suppliers of non-phthalate DOTP, MEG, and related intermediates. It provides a factual account of the meetings and a summary of the product lines presented.

Booth and Team at AP-RubberPlas 2026
The booth at Hall N3, Booth C78 was arranged to support technical consultation. Samples of premium DOTP, qualified DOTP, DCP, and MEG were displayed with specification sheets and application case studies. Team members were assigned to multilingual reception desks to facilitate communication with overseas visitors.
Cross-Border Procurement Matchmaking
The central structured activity of AP-RubberPlas 2026 was the official cross-border procurement matchmaking session. The organizer assembled a delegation of more than 55 overseas enterprises from 26 countries, including Russia, Germany, India, Cuba, Spain, Pakistan, Serbia, Yemen, and Egypt. Exhibitors and buyers were paired according to product category and stated procurement interest. All four country-level meetings described below took place during this single-afternoon session.
Spain: DOTP and DCP Procurement Discussion
A procurement manager from a Spanish PVC compounding company reviewed DOTP (Dioctyl Terephthalate, CAS 6422-86-2) specifications for wire and cable applications. The discussion covered volume resistivity, low-temperature flexibility, and migration resistance. Lead times for DCP in cost-sensitive general-purpose compounds were also compared. The meeting concluded with a request for a tailored quotation and sample kit.
Yemen: Two Meetings on Chemical Intermediates
Two separate meetings were held with Yemeni companies. The first addressed MEG (Monoethylene Glycol, CAS 107-21-1) for antifreeze blending and 2-octanol (CAS 123-96-6) as a feedstock for local plasticizer production. The second focused on long-term supply of phthalate-free plasticizers for pipe and profile manufacturing. Both parties noted the importance of stable inventory and documented batch traceability.
Pakistan: Product Introduction and Technical Exchange
Meetings with Pakistani buyers covered the full product range. The first introduced premium DOTP and qualified DOTP grades, with an explanation of the applications appropriate to each grade, including cable, synthetic leather, and film production. The second meeting addressed formulation support, with the technical team presenting gelation behavior and loading recommendations for PVC compounds. Pricing for standard-grade volumes was also discussed.
India: Inquiry on 2-Octanone
An Indian distributor inquired about 2-octanone (CAS 111-13-7) for the local solvent and fragrance intermediate market. After reviewing purity specifications and packaging options, contact details were exchanged for follow-up discussions on volumes and Incoterms.
Products Showcased and Discussed
Six product lines received the most attention during the meetings. The table below summarizes each product, its CAS number, and its primary applications.

| Qualified DOTP | 6422-86-2 | Cost-effective general-purpose grade | PVC flooring, films, profiles |
| DCP (Di-sec-octyl Phthalate) | 131-15-7 | Purity ≥99%, Color ≤30 APHA | PVC products, synthetic leather, films |
| MEG (Monoethylene Glycol) | 107-21-1 | Purity 99.5%+ | Antifreeze, PET resin, chemical synthesis |
| 2-Octanol | 123-96-6 | Purity ≥99% | DOTP feedstock, surfactant, fragrance intermediate |
| 2-Octanone | 111-13-7 | High-purity ketone | Solvents, fragrance intermediates |
