30592 DINP and DIDP final report volumes 20120330 - Europa
2 Types of DINP and DIDP 2.1 DINP There are currently two different DINP products that are marketed: DINP-1 (CAS 68515-48-0) is manufactured by the “Polygas” process. DINP-2 (CAS 28553-12-0) is n-butene based. (ECB, 2003b). The EU RAR furthermore describes a third form, DINP 3 (also CAS 28553-12-0), which has
2. How are DIDP and DINP used? - GreenFacts
Approximately 95% of DINP are used in PVC as a plasticizer. The remaining 5% are used in non-PVC applications. More than half of the DINP used in non-PVC applications involves polymer -related uses (e.g. rubbers). The remaining DINP is used in non- polymer applications including inks, adhesives and sealants, paints and lacquers.
di-‘isononyl’ phthalate (DINP) - Europa
– DINP, DIDP and DPHP8 represent nowadays ca. 65% of the overall consumption of plasticisers in Western Europe, for only ca. 16% for DEHP (in 2008, ECPI workshop, 2009; ECPI, 2010; CEFIC, 2010); in comparison, at global level DINP and DIDP represent only ca. 30% of the total consumption of plasticisers, for 50% for DEHP (ECPI workshop, 2009);
DINP-DIDP: 2. How are DIDP and DINP used? - GreenFacts
Around 95% of DIDP and DINP is used in PVC as a plasticizer. More than half of the remaining 5% involves polymer -related uses other than PVC (e.g. rubbers). The remaining DIDP and DINP are used in non-polymer applications including anti-corrosion paints, anti-fouling paints, lacquers, inks, adhesives and sealants .

- What is DINP & DIDP used for?
- DINP and DIDP are mainly used to make PVC soft and flexible. Examples of such flexible PVC articles are electrical wire, vinyl flooring, synthetic leather, and swimming pools. The other 5% is used in non-PVC applications such as rubbers, adhesives, sealants, paints and lacquers, textile inks and lubricants.
- What is the difference between DINP and DIDP?
- DINP is a trivial name for di-“isononyl” phthalate (CAS No 28553-12-0) and for 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C8-10-branched alkyl esters, C9-rich (CAS No 68515-48-0). DIDP is a trivial name for di-“isodecyl” phthalate (CAS No 26761-40-0) and for 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C9-11-branched alkyl esters, C10-rich (CAS No 68515-49-1).
- How many producers of DINP are there in the EU?
- Approximately four producers of DINP exist in the EU. The estimated consumption volume in 1994 was ca. 107,200 t/a. An increase of the consumption of DINP is to be expected over the following years. Nearly all (95%) of DINP is used in PVC as a plasticizer. The remaining 5% are used in non-PVC applications.
- Can DINP and DIDP be imported and exported?
- DINP and DIDP may be imported and exported in a large number of articles. In general it is very difficult to obtain specific information on the plasticiser content of the imported articles. Data on the average content of flexible PVC and plasticiser content by commodity.
- Is DIDP a good alternative to DEHP?
- Therefore, DIDP appears to be an alternative to most of the uses of DEHP (EU, 2008; www.dehp-facts.com), with the main exception for use in medical devices (European Council for Plasticisers and Intermediates (ECPI), ECPI, 2007). The main applications of DIDP are similar to those of DINP. DIDP is primarily used to soften PVC.
- How many producers of DIDP are there in the EU?
- Approximately four producers of DIDP are currently located in the EU. The estimated consumption volume in 1994 was around 200,000 t/a. An increase in the consumption of DIDP is anticipated in the coming years. Nearly all (95%) of DIDP is used as a plasticizer in PVC, while the remaining 5% is utilized in non-PVC applications.
