Phthalates - ECHA - Europa
Phthalates Phthalates form a family of synthetic chemicals with a wide variety of uses, ranging from consumer to industrial products. There are different kind of phthalates and they are commonly used as softeners to make plastics, such as PVC, more flexible and durable.
1 June 2009 Background document for dibutyl phthalate (DBP) - Europa
DBP is a specialist plasticiser often used in combination with other high molecular weight phthalates. It is also used as a gelling aid in combination with other plasticizers for nitrocellulose, cellulose ether, and polyacrylate and polyacetate dispersions.

- What is dibutyl phthalate (DBP)?
- Dibutyl phthalate [DBP] belongs to dialkyl phthalate group. It is a petrochemical which is mostly used as plasticizer or sometimes as a solvent in industries. DBP can be naturally isolated from plants, marine algae, bacteria, and fungi.
- What is dibutyl phthalate (DBP) EC 201-557-4?
- Substance: Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) EC: 201-557-4 Date of inclusion: >28-Oct-2008 Reason for inclusion: Toxic for reproduction (Article 57c); Endocrine disrupting properties (Article 57 (f) - environment); Endocrine disrupting properties (Article 57 (f) - human health)
- Is dibutyl phthlate a toxic phthalate?
- Dibutyl phthlate ester was the most toxic of the phthalates tested. The toxic order of 3 of the esters was dibutyl phthalate greater than diethyl phthalate greater than dimethyl phthalate. For more Ecotoxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for DIBUTYL PHTHALATE (28 total), please visit the HSDB record page. The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms.
- Is dibutyl phthalate a carcinogen?
- Animal studies have reported developmental and reproductive effects from oral exposure. EPA has classified dibutyl phthalate as a Group D, not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity. The heated compound is an irritant to the eyes and respiratory tract.
- What does EPA do with dibutyl phthalate?
- The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, directs EPA to set standards requiring major sources to sharply reduce routine emissions of toxic pollutants. EPA is required to establish and phase in specific performance based standards for all air emission sources that emit one or more of the listed pollutants. Dibutyl phthalate is included on this list.
- What is di-n-butyl phthalate?
- Source: Di-n-butyl phthalateis a synthetic phthalate compound. Phthalates are substances added to plastics to increase flexibility and durability. DBP is added to nail polishes to prevent them from becoming brittle, increasing the length of time the polish stays on the nail. It is also added to some fragrances.
