Risk Evaluation for Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) (1,2-Benzene
Background on DINP. DINP is a common chemical name for the category of chemicals that includes the following substances: 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,2-isononyl ester and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C9-11-branched alkyl esters, C9-rich. The primary use for DINP is as a plasticizer in plastic and rubber products.
Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) ECPI January 2015 - European plasticisers
Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) is an oily colourless liq-uid with a slight ester odour. Production Process Di-isononyl phthalate is produced by one-step ester-ification of phthalic anhydride with isononanol (INA) and a catalyst. Two types of isononanol can be used for the synthesis: either a pure C9 fraction (synthe-
ECPI concludes LCA study on DINP - Plasticisers - Information Center
ECPI concludes LCA study on DINP The European Council for Plasticisers and Intermediates (ECPI) commissioned PE International to conduct an LCA study with the goal to setup a PlasticsEurope Eco-profile and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) of the plasticiser Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP).
ECPI concludes LCA study on DINP - European plasticisers
The European Council for Plasticisers and Intermediates (ECPI) commissioned PE International to conduct an LCA study with the goal to setup a PlasticsEurope Eco-profile and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) of the plasticiser Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP). A critical review of the study was performed by Denkstatt GmbH. This EPD describes
di-‘isononyl’ phthalate (DINP) - Europa
and in particular to DINP (ECPI workshop, 2009). This transfer can be illustrated by the following figures and facts: – 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
- Does Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) have an eco-profile?
- The European Council for Plasticisers and Intermediates (ECPI) commissioned PE International to conduct an LCA study with the goal to setup a PlasticsEurope Eco-profile and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) of the plasticiser Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP). A critical review of the study was performed by Denkstatt GmbH.
- What is DINP phthalic acid (Diisodecyl phthalate)?
- DINP is typically a mixture of chemical compounds consisting of various isononyl esters of phthalic acid, and is commonly used in a large variety of plastic products. The European Union has set a maximum specific migration limit (SML) from food contact materials of 9 mg/kg food for the sum of diisononyl phthalates and diisodecyl phthalates.
- What is the maximum specific migration limit for diisononyl phthalates?
- The European Union has set a maximum specific migration limit (SML) from food contact materials of 9 mg/kg food for the sum of diisononyl phthalates and diisodecyl phthalates. DINP is listed as a substance "known to the State of California to cause cancer" under Proposition 65 legislation.
- Does Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) warrant classification for reprotoxic effects?
- The ECHA 's Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) has concluded, on March 7, 2018, that Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) does not warrant classification for reprotoxic effects under the EU's Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulations.
- Is DINP a phthalate?
- Its profile in terms of processability, performance, availability and economics makes DINP a “general purpose” phthalate, such as DEHP or DIDP. DINP (and DIDP) also show a particular compatibility for uses requiring long term performance or durability.
- Is DINP an ed substance?
- There is some new information indicating that DINP could be an ED substance, while in other studies no ED effects are seen. In their review of DINP, ECPI questions the validity of some of the positive studies, including the one by Gray et al included in the EU RAR, and their conclusion is that DINP should not be regarded as an ED.
