Dioctyl sebacate (also di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, commonly abbreviated as DOS, DEHS, and BEHS) is an organic compound which is the diester of sebacic acid and 2-ethylhexanol.

It is an oily colorless liquid and is used as a plasticizer, including in the explosive C4.[1] It has also found use in Dot 5 brake fluid, in ester-based engine oils and additives, as seed particle for particle image velocimetry (PIV) and as a model compound that forms stable aerosols.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
