Professional R&D and excellent quality plasticizer chemicals

After 20-plus years in limbo, a proposed rule by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to add the plasticizer diisononyl phthalate (DINP) to a list of toxic chemicals is back on the agenda.

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the State of California’s Environmental Protection Agency, which decides which chemicals need to be labeled as a carcinogen or reproductive toxicant under Proposition 65, has announced that DINP (diisononylphthalate) is now included on the list.

California law prohibits: The manufacture, sale, or distribution of children’s toys and child care articles containing BBP, DBP, or DEHP at levels greater than 0.1%. The manufacture, sale, or distribution of toys and child care articles intended for the use of a child under 3 years old, if that product can be placed in the mouth, and it

Jayflex DINP and DIDP show superior performance in the key requirements for a general purpose plasticizer. Jayflex plasticizers exhibit low volatile losses and high gelation, are cost competitive, are available globally and have a longstanding record of safety in use and wide toxicological review.

Jayflex DINP plasticizer is the largest-volume general-purpose high-molecular-weight plasticizer for PVC , providing the opportunity for cost savings with a good balance of properties. As shown below, it is an excellent substitute for Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DOP) in most flexible PVC applications.
