What is the best alternative to DEHP for medical-grade PVC
A monomeric plasticizer, TOTM’s high molecular weight makes it less mobile than other alternative plasticizers and, for that matter, than DEHP. In spite of its chemical designation as a terephthalate, DOTP is classified as a non-ortho-phthalate, different from DEHP in terms of animal toxicology and metabolization, explains Galland.

CPSC Staff Statement on University of Cincinnati Report
The structure of TOTM is similar to that of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), with the exception that TOTM contains a third functionality on the aromatic ring. The presence of three alcohols makes trimellitates significantly more viscous then adipates or phthalates (Hatco, 2008, as cited by Versar, 2010). TOTM is an EPA High Production
