Booth and Team at VietnamPlas 2026
The booth at Booth A138 was arranged to support technical consultation. Samples of DOTP, MEG, and 2-octanol were displayed with specification sheets and application case studies. Team members were assigned to multilingual reception desks to facilitate communication with overseas visitors.
Customer Meetings at the Show
The four-day exhibition brought steady traffic to Booth A138. The following sections document the substantive meetings held with buyers from four countries, each with distinct procurement priorities.
Vietnam: Local Traders and Compounders
Meetings with Vietnamese buyers covered the full product range. A Ho Chi Minh City-based trader, Mr. Tu, reviewed DOTP specifications for cable and film applications, with particular interest in volume resistivity and thermal stability. Another local compounder inquired about MEG supply for antifreeze blending, noting the importance of consistent purity and reliable delivery schedules to support their production line.
India: Distributor Inquiry on DOTP and Intermediates
An Indian distributor engaged in a detailed discussion on DOTP and 2-octanol supply. The conversation covered pricing tiers by volume, packaging options (flexitank vs. IBC totes), and lead times from Qingdao to major Indian ports. The distributor noted growing demand for non-phthalate plasticizers in India's cable and footwear sectors.
Korea: Existing Trade Partner Visit
A Korean trading company with an existing cooperation history sent a representative to the booth. The meeting focused on expanding the product portfolio beyond current transactions, with the strongest interest in using DOTP in cost-sensitive PVC applications. The representative confirmed satisfaction with past order fulfillment and expressed intent to increase order frequency.
Malaysia: Pipe Manufacturer Representative
A representative from a Malaysian pipe manufacturing company visited the booth to evaluate DOTP as a phthalate-free alternative for their PVC pipe formulations. The discussion addressed migration resistance, long-term aging performance, and compliance with Malaysian standards. The representative requested a sample kit and technical data sheets for internal evaluation.
