Trends for plasticizers in German freshwater environments

Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non-phthalates)
Background European chemicals management aims to protect human health and the environment from legacy and emerging contaminants. The plasticizer market changed in response to the restriction of low molecular weight (LMW) phthalate plasticizers such as Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) due to their hazardous properties. We investigated patterns and trends of 19 regulated and emerging

BASF (Germany) has launched a new plasticizer product Palatinol 10-P, i.e., di (2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP), with a molecular formula of C 28 H 46 O 4, molecular weight of 446.7, CAS # 53306-54-0, and the chemical structure is as follows:

The plasticizer is di-isononyl-cyclohexane-l,2dicarboxylate. BASF says that it is a general purpose plasticizer, with a well balanced technical profile and a wide range of PVC applications. The company adds that Hexamoll DINCH exhibits no peroxisome proliferation and has no reproductive toxicity.
Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Abstract Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been widely used in the world. Petroleum-based plasticizers especially phthalates have been the most common plasticizers used in PVC. However, the global petroleum resources are becoming scarce gradually, and the hygienic requirements for plasticizers are increasing. Owing to the negative impact of petroleum-based plasticizers on human health
- Are plasticizers a problem in Germany?
- We found an increasing number of substitutes in the German part of the three major European rivers Rhine, Danube and Elbe, as well as other waters in Germany. As a result, the total burden of plasticizers in the aquatic environment has hardly changed since 2005.
- Do phthalates and plasticizers exist in German rivers?
- The aim of this study was to obtain spatial-temporal trends for DEHP and its substitutes in German rivers. We have investigated suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples from the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) for the presence of 23 plasticizers, i.e. 17 phthalates and 6 non-phthalates.
- What is the role of plasticizers in polymers?
- The primary role of plasticizers is to improve the flexibility and processability of polymers by lowering the second order transition temperature . Plasticizers are actually low molecular weight (MW) resins or liquids, which form secondary bonds to polymer chains and spread them apart.
- What is the global demand for plasticizers in 2024?
- In the fourth edition of its Plasticizers market study, Germany's Ceresana forecasts that global demand for all plasticizers will increase to about 9.75 million tonnes in 2024, with typical volume growth rates for the different types of about 3–3.5%.
- Why are plasticizers marketed in high volumes?
- Plasticizers are marketed in high volumes and Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is frequently detected in the environment and human populations. Industry had largely relied on DEHP until regulation started to restrict its marketing in 1999 due to environmental and human health concerns.
- How to improve the health and environmental issues concerning plasticizers?
- The use of environmentally-benign plasticizers is another way to improve the health and environmental issues concerning plasticizers. Among the number of factors that decide the feasibility of a substance to be used as a plasticizer, toxicological information is an increasingly important one.
