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.
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate
Bis (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate commonly abbreviated DEHT (Dioctyl terephthalate or DOTP), is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 8 H 17) 2. It is a non- phthalate plasticizer, being the diester of terephthalic acid and the branched-chain 2-ethylhexanol, which is referred to as octyl.
CPSC Staff Statement on University of Cincinnati Report
Di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT) is a U.S. EPA high production volume chemical, with production above 50 million pounds/year in the U.S. (SCENIHR, 2008). Because it can be used as a substitute for DEHP, and other regulated or restricted plasticizers, consumption volume is increasing.
Terephthalates - Plasticisers - Information Center
Terephthalates - Plasticisers - Information Center Terephthalates Terephthalates are esters of tere-phthalic acid such as the 1,4 benzenedicarboxilic acid ester known as DEHTP or DOTP which offers low temperature performance, better resistance to soapy water extraction and low volatility.
Plasticisers - Information Center
In Europe, ortho-phthalates – also know simply as phthalates (Low Molecular Weight – LMW – and High Molecular Weight – HMW) – make up for the majority of the plasticisers market followed by aliphatics and cyclohexanoates.
- What is DEHT (Dioctyl terephthalate)?
- Bis (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate commonly abbreviated DEHT (Dioctyl terephthalate or DOTP), is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 8 H 17) 2. It is a non- phthalate plasticizer, being the diester of terephthalic acid and the branched-chain 2-ethylhexanol, which is often generically referred to as octyl.
- What is DOTP Dioctyl terephthalate?
- TCC’s ChemFlexx DOTP Dioctyl terephthalate (bis (2-ethylhexyl) benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate), commonly abbreviated DOTP, is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (C 8 H 17 COO) 2. It is the most important of the phthlte-free plasticizers, being the diester of terephthalic acid and the branched-chain 2-ethylhexanol.
- What is Dioctyl terephthalate used for?
- Dioctyl Terephthalate is primarily used as a plasticizer. In particular, it replaces the plasticizer DEHP (DOP), which has fallen into disrepute due to health risks, for example in PVC products for the food sector such as the caps of plastic bottles.
- What products contain Dioctyl terephthalate?
- In particular, it replaces the plasticizer DEHP (DOP), which has fallen into disrepute due to health risks, for example in PVC products for the food sector such as the caps of plastic bottles. Products containing dioctyl terephthalate also include gaskets, pipes, conveyor belts, cable sleeves, waterproof clothing, shoe soles and floor coverings.
- What is a standard state of terephthalate?
- Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). Bis (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate commonly abbreviated DEHT (Dioctyl terephthalate or DOTP), is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 8 H 17) 2.
- Is Dioctyl terephthalate harmful?
- There are no known harmful effects of dioctyl terephthalate on nature. Since the substance is hardly water-soluble and also tends to bind to soil particles, it is presumably hardly mobile in the environment. Ensure your supply of Dioctylterephthalate (DOTP), ideal for producing plastic packaging, shoe soles, and waterproof clothing.
