2. How are DIDP and DINP used? - GreenFacts
Approximately 95% of DINP are used in PVC as a plasticizer. The remaining 5% are used in non-PVC applications. More than half of the DINP used in non-PVC applications involves polymer -related uses (e.g. rubbers). The remaining DINP is used in non- polymer applications including inks, adhesives and sealants, paints and lacquers.
Phthalates - ECHA - Europa
Phthalates form a family of synthetic chemicals with a wide variety of uses, ranging from consumer to industrial products. There are different kind of phthalates and they are commonly used as softeners to make plastics, such as PVC, more flexible and durable. Due to their wide use, phthalates can be found almost everywhere in our environment
30592 DINP and DIDP final report volumes 20120330 - Europa
According to ECPI, the consumption of DINP, DIDP and DPHP (di-2-propylheptyl phthalate), has increased from representing about 50% of total phthalate sales in Europe in 2001 to approximately 83% of the total sales in 2010 (ECPI, 2011a). 8 Figure 3.2 Percentage of phthalates sales in Europe compared to other plasticisers (ECPI, 2011a)
Phthalate Di-isodecyl & Di-isononyl phthalates - GreenFacts
3.1 DIDP and DINP present in the environment can remain for a long time in soil and sediment. They can also concentrate in organisms living in water. More... 3.2 Most of the DIDP and DINP released into the general environment results from the use and disposal of PVC products containing them.
INSPITE OF BEING PHTHALATE PLASTICIZERS, WHY DINP
DINP and DOTP are perfect plasticizers for replacing DOP: DINP (Di-Iso-Nonyl Phthalate) and DOTP (Di octyl terephthalate), have the same softening effect as DOP (efficiency factor 1.03). At the...
- How many tonnes of DIDP and DINP are produced each year?
- In 1994, over 200 000 tonnes of DIDP and 107 000 tonnes of DINP were produced annually in the European Union, and production is expected to increase further.
- What is the difference between DIDP and DINP?
- DIDP and DINP are acronyms that each refer to certain mixtures of phthalates. Most of the molecules in DIDP have 10 carbon atoms, while those in DINP have 9 carbon atoms. They have a common core structure with two long chains of molecules attached to the core.
- Is DIDP a phthalate?
- This is particularly the case for the use of DIDP in products for children, or other consumer products to which children may be exposed. It appears from contacts with manufacturers of DIDP (industry) that the substance is currently, with DEHP and DINP, a phthalate of high commercial interest in Europe.
- Is it safe to use DIDP in toys?
- The European Union Risk Assessment Report on DIDP and DINP concluded that there is no need for further risk reduction measures beyond those already taken, except to limit risks should DIDP be used in toys.
- What was the annual production of DINP in 1994?
- In 1994, over 200 000 tonnes of DIDP and 107 000 tonnes of DINP were produced annually in the European Union and production is expected to increase further.
- How well are DIDP and DINP absorbed?
- DIDP and DINP are well absorbed when swallowed or breathed in, but are poorly absorbed through the skin.
