Phthalate
Phthalates derived from alcohols with between 1-4 carbon atoms are used as plasticisers for cellulose -type plastics, such as cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate butyrate, with commonly encountered applications including nail polish.
The effects of phthalate ester exposure on human health: A
Phthalate esters (PAEs) are one of the most widely used plasticizers in polymer products and humans are increasingly exposed to them. The constant exposure to PAEs-contained products has raised some concerns against human health.
Multi-pathway human exposure assessment of phthalate esters
Show abstract. 1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, diisononyl ester (DINCH) is a complex mixture of nine carbon branched-chain isomers. It has been used in Europe since 2002 as a plasticizer to replace phthalates such as di (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and diisononyl phthalate (DINP).
Plasticizers from Plastic Devices: Extraction, Metabolism
Phthalate ester plasticizers were found to be extracted by blood from plastic tubing and from plastic bags used for blood storage. One such plasticizer was metabolized by the isolated perfused rat liver while another was found to be accumulated in the liver unchanged.
Phthalate Ester Plasticizers: A New Class of Marine Pollutant
Abstract. Phthalate ester plasticizers have been detected in the open-ocean environment. Samples consisting of water, sediment, air, and biota from the Gulf of Mexico and of water and air from the North Atlantic were analyzed and found to contain two phthalate esters, di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and di- n -dibutyl phthalate (DBP); the
- What is the use of phthalate esters in polymer formulation?
- Phthalate esters are commonly used as plasticizer in polymer formulation; in particular for poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) formulation.
- Can Epoxidized vegetable oils replace phthalate esters?
- According to the researches in the last 18 years, epoxidized vegetable oils are one of the alternatives that are strongly encouraged to substitute phthalate esters since they were proven to be valid in various applications, eco-friendly and sustainable resource.
- What are the different types of plasticizers?
- The primary types include: Phthalates: These are the most commonly used plasticizers, primarily employed to impart flexibility to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. Phthalates are esters of phthalic acid and are divided into high and low molecular weight categories.
- What are the plasticizers used in PVC processing?
- There are many plasticizers used in PVC processing, one of those plasticizers is phthalate esters. Phthalate esters are petroleum-based products which are the most commonly used plasticizers in PVC processing.
- What are some examples of organophosphate plasticizers?
- Compounds like cresyl diphenyl phosphate are examples of organophosphate plasticizers. Benzoates: Benzoate plasticizers, such as benzoate esters, are utilized in various applications to enhance flexibility.
- What is a citrate plasticizer?
- Citrates (TOC, ATBC, and ATOC, etc): Derived from citric acid, citrate plasticizers are often used in applications requiring non-toxic and biodegradable additives, such as in food packaging and medical products.
