A Strategy for Nonmigrating Highly Plasticized PVC
Nonmigrating highly plasticized PVC was prepared based on a new compound that acts as a plasticizer that was derived from di (2-ethylhexyl) 4-hydrophthalate and chlorinated paraffin-52. The...
Phthalates Factsheet | National Biomonitoring Program | CDC
Phthalates are a group of chemicals used to make plastics more durable. They are often called plasticizers. Some phthalates are used to help dissolve other materials. Phthalates are in hundreds of products, such as vinyl flooring, lubricating oils, and personal-care products (soaps, shampoos, hair sprays).
Comparison of In Vitro Endocrine Activity of Phthalates and Alternative
DINCH is used as an alternative plasticizer in high volumes and replaces phthalates such as DEHP and DINP in medical devices, toys, and food packaging materials. As plant alternatives to phthalates, ROQUETTE Company has developed a 100% bio-sourced plasticizer, POLYSORB ID 46.
Phthalates in Food Packaging and Food Contact Applications
Phthalates in Food Packaging and Food Contact Applications Ortho -phthalates, often referred to as “phthalates,” are chemicals used in plastic products (most commonly in the specific type of...

Phthalates can also migrate into indoor air and household dust from products like vinyl flooring and wall coverings. Numerous studies have found links between personal care product use and concentrations of phthalate metabolites in urine. And phthalates are transferred from mother to fetus during pregnancy.
- Which plasticizer has the highest concentration of phthalate?
- RESULTS: We detected eight ortho-phthalates and three alternatives ((1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (DINCH), diethylhexyl terephthalate (DEHT), and diisobutyl adipate (DIBA). Diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) was measured in all 71 products. DEHT had the highest concentration of any plasticizer (>10,000 ng/g in three oils).
- Are phthalate & other plasticizers still used?
- Uses of Phthalates and Other Plasticizers Majority no longer available. For phthalate esters, the plasticizer range extends from esters prepared from C4 alcohols to C13 alcohols. However because of high volatility, C4 - C6 phthalate esters are no longer used as PVC plasticizers in most countries
- Are phthalate esters PVC plasticizers?
- For phthalate esters, the plasticizer range extends from esters prepared from C4 alcohols to C13 alcohols. However because of high volatility, C4 - C6 phthalate esters are no longer used as PVC plasticizers in most countries C1 to C3 (i.e. DEP, DMP, DPP) phthalate esters are solvents, not PVC plasticizers.
- How many phthalates are there in indoor plasticizers?
- The global occurrence and concentrations of indoor plasticizers were reviewed. Widely reported 10 phthalates and 14 alternative plasticizers were investigated. Indoor plasticizers in 4 phases were discussed across multiple dimensions. Mass transfer and partition of plasticizer were analyzed for all indoor interfaces.
- Are phthalates and alternative plasticizers present in indoor environments?
- Consequently, plasticizers are widely present in the gas, airborne particle, and dust phases within indoor environments. Numerous field studies have been conducted to determine the indoor concentrations of phthalates and alternative plasticizers quantitatively.
- How many phthalate plasticizers are in e-waste recycling?
- Nine traditional phthalate plasticizers and 33 novel non-phthalate plasticizers were determined in indoor dust from a typical e-waste recycling area. The median concentrations ranged from <LOQ to 22,700 ng/g for phthalates and from <LOQ to 1250 ng/g for non-phthalates.
