to 3 carbon atoms in length. Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP) are used as solvents, plasticizers for cellulosic plastics, and as carriers for fragrance materials. They may be found in cosmetics, personal care products, air fresheners, inks, cellulosic plastics, and light sticks.
Dimethyl phthalate = 99 131-11-3 - Sigma-Aldrich
It is majorly used as a plasticizer for the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and in the coating of cellulose films. [ 1] Application DMP can be used to plasticize cellulose acetate which can be further used in the production of laminated safety glass for flight helmets and goggles. [ 2]
Plasticizers: Synthesis of phthalate esters via FeCl3
Plasticizers are the substances used to increase flexibility, transparency, durability and longevity of the plastics. Phthalates are also used as lubricant, stabilizer, binder and adhesive [3]. They are also used to manufacture toys, textiles, paints, medical devices, cosmetics, etc.
Effects of Plasticizers and Stabilizers on Thermal Stability
The results showed that dimethyl phthalate (DMP) had better compatibility with PVF and phase separation didn't occur up to a relatively high concentration level, and DMP significantly decreased...
Perspectives on alternatives to phthalate plasticized poly
The most widely used PVC plasticizers are phthalate esters, particularly di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), which usually represent up to 40–50% of the weight of the plastic items. Phthalates account for 80% of all plasticizer production [6] while DEHP is responsible for over 50% of worldwide phthalate production [7].
