Nonphthalate Plasticizers in House Dust from Multiple
In 2017, the phthalate-free plasticizers accounted for 35% of global plasticizer consumption, up from 12% in 2005, and were expected to increase to 40% in 2025. (9,10) NPPs are complex in chemical structures, mainly containing functional groups such as benzoate, sebacate, azelate, adipate, terephthalate, trimellitate, citrate, oleate, and a few
Phthalate-free plasticizer capacity is rising; can TPEs
The recent announcement that plastics and chemicals supplier BASF plans to double its production capacity for its non-phthalate plasticizer Hexamoll to 200,000 tonnes/yr by 2013 is a clear sign that concerns about adverse health affects caused by phthalate-based plasticizers have changed the marketplace irreversibly.
Nonphthalate Plasticizers in House Dust from Multiple
Abstract and Figures Along with the restrictions of phthalate esters (PAEs), a variety of nonphthalate plasticizers (NPPs) have been increasingly used for industrial needs. Knowledge remains...
DEHT is a suitable plasticizer option for phthalate-free
Abstract. Background and objectives: Due to increasing concerns about possible endocrine-disrupting properties, the use of the plasticizer di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) will be banned in future blood storage. Di (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT) provides sufficient red blood cell (RBC) quality during conventional blood bank storage.
Human exposure, hazard and risk of alternative plasticizers
Plasticizers are chemical additives that provide durability, elasticity and flexibility of polymeric products ( Wilkes et al., 2005 ). Phthalate esters (PEs) are the dominant substance class of plasticizers, and in particular bis-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) has been the most widely used substance ( Murphy, 2001, Sampson and de Korte, 2011 ).
- Are phthalate-free Plasticizer-based PVC gels safe?
- Phthalate-based plasticizers, which are commonly used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), exhibit toxic effects on both the environment and human health, leading to the exploration of phthalate-free alternatives. In this study, phthalate-free plasticizer-based PVC (Pf-PVC) gels were developed.
- Are plasticizers phthalate-free?
- nyl phthalate (DINP).Key FindingsHBN identified six phthalate-free plasticizer types, three synthetic and three bio-based, in use i ommercial PVC building products. The available data suggest that non-phthalate plasticizers present fewer hu
- Are phthalate plasticizers covalently bound to PVC?
- Pharmaceutical Research. 18 (12), 1760–1766 (2001). Navarro, R., Pérez, P. M., Gómez Tardajos, M. & Reineckeet, H. Phthalate plasticizers covalently bound to PVC: plasticization with suppressed migration. Macromolecules. 43 (5), 2377–2381 (2010).
- Which phthalate based plasticizers are used in the PVC industry?
- Among the traditional plasticizers, phthalate-based plasticizers, such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), account for more than 90 % of their usage in the PVC industry.
- Are PF-PVC gels phthalate-free?
- Phthalate-free plasticizer-based polyvinyl chloride (Pf-PVC) gels were developed. Pf-PVC gels exhibited excellent transparency (T ≈ 95.4 % at 550 nm). Pf-PVC gels showed improved flexibility especially under a lower electric field. Pf-PVC gel microlens demonstrated electrical-tunable focus length (5–29.3 mm).
- Does phthalate enlarge the molecular weight of PVC?
- Unlike other reported methods, this approach increases the interaction between phthalate and PVC to suppress its migration, not simply to enlarge its molecular size (or molecular weight). This methodology is highly versatile for producing the desired non-leaching PVC with a permanent plasticizer effect.
