High Phthalates - American Chemistry Council
High phthalates are commonly used in PVC products such as wire and cable jacketing, flooring, wall covering, self-adhesive films, synthetic leather, coated fabrics and roofing and automobile applications. The most common types of high phthalates include diisononyl phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and dipropylheptyl phthalate (DPHP).
High Phthalates - American Chemistry Council
The High Phthalates Panel was formed in 2011 with a mission dedicated to promoting the benefits of diisononyl phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), dipropylheptyl phthalate (DPHP) and other high molecular weight phthalates.
Evonik committed to general-purpose plasticizer DINP
Recently, Evonik joined with other manufacturers in the High Phthalates Panel (HPP), a sector group of the American Chemistry Council (ACC), in a voluntary manufacturer request to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a broad-based risk evaluation of the uses of DINP.
High Phthalates: A Primer on DINP and DIDP
Phthalates are a family of compounds some of which primarily are used to soften or “plasticize” polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or vinyl. Phthalates are used in hundreds of products in our homes, hospitals, cars and businesses. Not all phthalates are the same, however. High phthalates refer to those phthalates with a higher molecular weight, with ≥7 carbon atoms in their chemical
Uses of Phthalates and Other Plasticizers - U.S. Consumer
The most important products include the chemical classes: – Citrates – Dibenzoates – Polyol esters – Alkyl aromatic sulfonates – Cyclohexane diacid esters – Terephthalates – Epoxidized oils – Modified vegetable oils – Other dibasic acids (azelates, sebacates) – Phosphates – Isobutyrates – Hydrocarbon oils or extenders None of these classes are
- Is DINP a high molecular weight phthalate?
- DINP is classed as a high molecular weight phthalate (also known as a ‘high phthalate’), defined as a phthalate molecule containing more than six carbon atoms in its backbone.
- What is Evonik doing about DINP?
- In line with this stance, Evonik has recently joined with fellow members of the American Chemistry Council's High Phthalates Panel ExxonMobil and Teknor Apex in a voluntary manufacturer request to the US EPA to conduct a broad-based risk evaluation of the uses of DINP. The EPA granted the request in early December 2019.
- Does Evonik offer a general-purpose plasticizer DINP (diisononyl phthalate)?
- Evonik is committed to offering customers the general-purpose plasticizer DINP (diisononyl phthalate) on a global basis. The safe and long-lasting use of plasticizers is always Evonik's top priority. Evonik promotes the safe use of the general-purpose plasticizer DINP (diisononyl phthalate)
