Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
Nonphthalate plasticizers are not based on phthalic acid, and have a different chemical structure and toxicological profile. These include terephthalates (the most common is dioctyl terephthalate [DOTP]), epoxy, aliphatics, trimellitates, polymerics, phosphates, and others. The following pie chart shows world consumption of plasticizers:

A review of common non-ortho-phthalate plasticizers for use
Some groups have recently reported the presence of ortho-phthalates and other plasticizers in foods and food packaging; not surprisingly, these reports have received considerable media attention. In a recent example, Edwards et al. (2025) reported concentrations of DOTP, DINCH, DEHA, and ortho-phthalates found in fast food items at 6 mg/kg or
Palatinol DOTP
Palatinol DOTP can be used in a broad range of applications as an alternative to general purpose ortho-phthalates, where good processing characteristics are needed and the finished product requires improved low temperature flexibility and low volatility.
