Sri Lanka Faces An Environmental Disaster As A Ship Full
A cargo ship carrying chemicals and plastic pellets has been burning off the coast of Sri Lanka for nearly two weeks. Now, efforts to tow the ship to deeper waters have failed – and the...
X-Press Pearl: The 'toxic ship' that caused an environmental
The plastic can take between 500 to 1000 years to decompose and is likely to be carried by ocean currents to shores all around Sri Lanka and even to beaches hundreds of kilometres away from the
Nurdles: the worst toxic waste you’ve probably never heard
“The sinking of the X-Press Pearl – and spill of chemical products and plastic pellets into the seas of Sri Lanka – caused untold damage to marine life and destroyed local livelihoods
Tons of toxic microplastics are covering Sri Lanka’s western
Sri Lanka is facing one of the worst environmental disasters in its history after tons of plastic pellets have washed ashore near its capital devastating kilometers of pristine beaches and threatening marine life. The pellets, microplastics the size of lentils, are the type used as raw materials in the production of single-use plastic packaging.
Dibutyl phthalate
Dibutyl phthalate ( DBP) is an organic compound which is commonly used as a plasticizer because of its low toxicity and wide liquid range. With the chemical formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 4 H 9) 2, it is a colorless oil, although commercial samples are often yellow. [3] Production and use [ edit]
- What is dibutyl phthalate (DBP)?
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is an organic compound which is commonly used as a plasticizer in flexible plastics that are found in a variety of consumer products. The product is classified and labeled according to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). GJ Chemical offers Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), CAS# 84-74-2.
- Why is di-butyl phthalate a good plasticizer?
- Its versatility and effectiveness as a plasticizer highlight its importance in modern manufacturing processes, contributing to the production of high-quality and functional products across multiple sectors. Di-Butyl Phthalate (DBP) is a versatile chemical compound widely used as a plasticizer in various industries.
- What is DBP made of?
- DBP is produced by esterifying Butanol and Phthalic Anhydride.excellent compatibility with PVC and has high plasticizing efficiency.
- How is dibutyl phthalate classified & labeled?
- The product is classified and labeled according to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). GJ Chemical offers Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), CAS# 84-74-2. Available in various grades, packaging and quantities from LTL to Bulk.
- What is DBP & phthalic anhydride?
- DBP is produced by esterifying Butanol and Phthalic Anhydride. excellent compatibility with PVC and has high plasticizing efficiency. a considerable low dosage is enough to reach satisfactory flexibility. a primary plasticizer for general purpose and often used as gelation agent.
- What is DBP used for?
- Its primary function is to improve the flexibility, durability, and workability of polymers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cellulose-based plastics, resins, adhesives, and coatings. DBP is extensively utilized in the manufacturing of automotive parts, packaging films, consumer goods, and construction materials.
