What is the best alternative to DEHP for medical-grade PVC
While phthalate esters such as DEHP are the most widely used plasticizers for flexible PVC medical compounds and have been for 50 years, issues concerning their possible effects on human health have caused some device manufacturers to consider compounds containing alternative plasticizers. Sometimes the pressure to do so is considerable.
The Long Goodbye to DEHP-plasticized PVC | mddionline.com
The idea of scrapping the use of polyvinylchloride (PVC) materials containing di (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) plasticizers is not new. However, despite such endeavors, both PVC and DEHP plasticizer still abound in a variety of products, including garden hoses, building materials, toys, and such medical devices as, catheters, feeding tubes, and IV sets.
