Risk Evaluation for Butyl Benzyl Phthalate - 1,2-Benzene
The primary use for butyl benzyl phthalate is as a plasticizer in adhesives and sealants, floor coverings, paints and coatings, and use in plastic and rubber products. Information from the 2016 Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) for butyl benzyl phthalate indicates the reported production volume is between 10 million and 50 million lbs/year
Eastman Plasticizers for Adhesives
Benzoflex 9-88 is a high solvating benzoate ester plasticizer that can be used in a wide variety of polymer systems and applications. Its diverse uses include resilient flooring, adhesives, caulks, and sealants. Product availability by region: Asia Pacific | Europe, Middle East, & Africa | Latin America | North America
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Phthalate Esters – They are produced by esterification of phthalic anhydride or phthalic acid obtained by the oxidation of orthoxylene or naphthalene. Most commonly used phthalate plasticizers include: DEHP: Low molecular weight ortho-phthalate. Still the world’s most widely used PVC plasticizer DINP, DIDP: High molecular weight ortho-phthalates
Method 606: Phthalate Ester - US EPA
used as plasticizers and are easily extracted from plastic materials. Serious phthalate contamination can result at any time, if consistent quality control is not practiced. Great care must be experienced to prevent such contamination. Exhaustive cleanup of reagents and glassware may be required to eliminate background phthalate contamination.
Improving Processing of PET, the World’s Most Recycled Plastic
Phthalates are low molecular weight monoesters made from orthophthalic acid. By comparison, PET is a high molecular weight polyester made from terephthalic acid and these forms are chemically very different. Phthalates (i.e. phthalate ester plasticizers) are not used in the manufacture of PET, and PET itself is not a phthalate.
