Identifying Greener and Safer Plasticizers: A 4-Step Approach
We will use the possible replacement of the plasticizer di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) as an example to illustrate this approach. Phthalates are used as plastic emollients, matrices, solvents and excipients in industrial applications ( Heudorf et al., 2007 ).
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate substitutes accelerate human adipogenesis
The obesity pandemic is presumed to be accelerated by endocrine disruptors such as phthalate-plasticizers, which interfere with adipose tissue function. With the restriction of the plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP), the search for safe substitutes gained importance.
Urinary Concentrations of Major Phthalate and Alternative Plasticizer
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), one of the most extensively used phthalates, has been rapidly substituted with alternative plasticizers in many consumer products. The aim of this study was to assess urinary phthalate and alternative plasticizer exposure and associated risks in children of three Asian countries with different geographical, climate, and cultural characteristics.
Alternative plasticizer - NEO-T (Di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate) - ChemSec
DOTP - dioctyl terephthalate - phthalate free plasticizer alternative. Description The colorless viscous liquid is used for softening PVC plastics and is known for chemical similarity to general purpose phthalates such as DEHP and DINP, but without any negative regulatory pressure.
Alternative plasticizer, 4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid dinonyl
Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a typical plasticizer used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is eluted from PVC-made blood containers and protects against red blood cell (RBC) hemolysis. However, concerns have arisen regarding the reproductive and developmental risks of DEHP in humans, and the use o
- Is di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate a non-Phthalate plasticizer?
- Although di (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DOTP) is being widely adopted as a non-phthalate plasticizer, existing research primarily focuses on human and rat toxicity. This leaves a significant gap in our understanding of their impact on microbial communities.
- What is Di 2 ethylhexyl terephthalate?
- Di (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate. Acts as a plasticizer. It is an organic ester compound, formed by heating acid and alcohol with a catalyst. Widely known as environment-friendly plasticizer. Exhibits good heat-resistance and increases transparency. Improves processing ability of polymers and also transforms their physical properties.
- Is di (2-ethylhexyl terephthalate) toxic to r ruber?
- Ecotoxicity of di (2-ethylhexyl terephthalate) (DOTP) on R. ruber was evaluated for the first time. Increased DOTP content (from 1 to 10% v/v) in PVC film led fatality of microorganisms in biofilm. Reactive oxygen species increased with increasing DOTP concentration.
- What are phthalate plasticizers?
- One commonly used type of additive is phthalate plasticizers, such as diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), which have been widely employed for many years to enhance the flexibility, durability, and workability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (Rais-Bahrami et al., 2004; Latini et al., 2010; Chiellini et al., 2013; Bodaghi, 2019).
