Risk Management for Phthalates | US EPA
This notice allows EPA the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity. October 23, 2014: EPA updated its list of Work Plan chemicals for assessment by adding a group of phthalates, among other chemicals, for evaluation. The update reflects new data on chemical releases and potential exposures.
Phthalates in Food Packaging and Food Contact Applications
The FDA currently allows nine phthalates in food contact applications (eight for use as plasticizers and one for use as a monomer) in the production of food contact polymers. Phthalates are not

Overall, global plasticizer consumption will grow at a rate of about 3% per year in the next few years. Phthalate esters, based on phthalic acid, are the main types of plasticizers used since they satisfy a broad range of processing and performance requirements, as well as a large number of markets.

The PeeZee Post - Eastman Chemical Company
On Tuesday, July 17, John Mann, Account Manager, Plasticizers, presented plasticizer regulatory and market updates to conference attendees. Mann shared insights on how large retailers, with NGOs pushing the agenda, are undertaking initiatives beyond the changes in the reformed TSCA law, aiming for the lowest common denominator to affect change.
- Are plasticisers regulated?
- Plasticisers, including DIBP, BBP, DEHP and DINP, are also regulated in plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
- What is a plasticizer chemistry?
- Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
- How many plasticisers are registered in the EU?
- Plasticisers have been subject to extensive testing and rigorous risk assessments. Since the implementation of REACH, more than 50 substances with plasticising properties have been registered. Specific plasticisers are restricted under EU REACH (Annex XVII) or are subject to REACH Authorisations (Annex XIV).
- What does European plasticisers do about PVC & PVC additives?
- In light of the investigation, European Plasticisers highlights the importance of ensuring regulatory predictability for the value chain and stands prepared to assist the European authorities in the assessment of PVC and PVC Additives.
- How to choose a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC?
- While selecting a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC, the main attributes to be checked are: Among them, regulation is an important decision factor while selecting plasticizers. In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on phthalate plasticizers. But in fact, not all phthalates are prohibited.
- What is a polymeric plasticizer?
- Polymeric plasticizers are typically made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and diols. They are primarily valued for their permanence. These plasticizers are generally classified as polyesters, not adipates. Many have low solvency for PVC and high viscosity. Both these factors can make processing f-PVC compounds difficult.
