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]

Because phthalate plasticisers cause great harm to the human body, they are prohibited from use in any food, medicine or health care products. As one of the common phthalate plasticiser, a method is urgently needed to detect the content of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in food samples.
A global assessment of phthalates burden and related links to health
Although the half-lives of various phthalate metabolites are relatively short (3 to 18 h), the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for phthalate metabolites, based on spot and first morning urine samples collected over a week to several months, range from weak to moderate, with a tendency toward higher ICCs (greater temporal stability) for metabolites of the shorter-chained (DEP, DBP
- What is the global dibutyl phthalate (DBP) market?
- Based on the end-user industry, the global Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) market is divided into Plasticizer, Adhesives, Printing Inks, and Others. Among these, Plasticizer sector is the major segment and held about 70% of the global Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) market in 2022. DBP is generally utilized to soften and increase the flexibility of polymers.
- What is dibutyl phthalate used for?
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) can be used to create flexible PVC, which is more in demand for usage in applications including flooring, wire and cable insulation, and medical tubing. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is used in adhesives as a plasticizer and an addition to enhance functionality. Additionally, it serves as a solvent for some sticky resins.
- How did the Chinese New Year affect dibutyl phthalate (DBP) market?
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) experienced an early spike in demand following the Chinese New Year, which was followed by an uptick in market sentiment despite low stocks. But the fall in PVC industry orders in mid-Feb stabilized the market and lightened the load on production facilities.
- Why did the dibutyl phthalate market see price inflation?
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) market saw price inflation because of hike in the raw material costs and pressure on transportation costs. Profit and volume growth in the DBP industry were also being impacted by the high demand from the downstream plasticizer sector as well as by declined inventories in the area.
- What happened to dibutyl phthalate (DBP) prices in H1 2023?
- H1 2023: In H1 2023, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) prices fluctuated in the Asia Pacific region. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) experienced an early spike in demand following the Chinese New Year, which was followed by an uptick in market sentiment despite low stocks.
- Is dibutyl phthalate safe?
- A safety assessment of Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Diethyl Phthalate (DEP), and Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP)was published in 1985 with the conclusion that these ingredients “are safe for topical application in thepresent practices of use and concentrations in cosmetics” (Elder, 1985).
