Plasticizers | ExxonMobil Product Solutions
Jayflex DTDP plasticizer is the highest-molecular-weight phthalate plasticizer, providing greater performance at high temperatures. It is the preferred plasticizer for automotive cable applications and THHN/NMB electrical wire insulation. Learn more Linear plasticizers
Phthalate and novel plasticizer concentrations in food items
High molecular weight phthalates like di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) are commonly used as plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials such as food
DTDP plasticizer | ExxonMobil Product Solutions
DTDP plasticizer. Jayflex DTDP plasticizer is the highest-molecular-weight phthalate plasticizer, providing greater performance at high temperatures. It is an optimum plasticizer for automotive cable applications and THHN/NMB* electrical wire insulation. Jayflex DTDP plasticizer is safe for use: It is not carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for
Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non-phthalates)
The plasticizer market changed in response to the restriction of low molecular weight (LMW) phthalate plasticizers such as Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) due to their hazardous properties. We investigated patterns and trends of 19 regulated and emerging plasticizers in house dust from German homes and in suspended particulate matter (SPM) from major German rivers.
High Molecular Weight Phthalates Plasticizers
ExxonMobil offers the industry’s broadest range of high-molecular-weight (HMW) phthalate plasticizers including branched and linear phthalates but also benzoates, adipates and trimellitates. This range of plasticizers provide the optimal balance of performance and safety to serve almost every flexible PVC end uses, including for example automotive interior, flooring, roofing, wire and cable.
- Are phthalates Universal plasticizers?
- Among them, we remember DEHP, DINP, DIDP, DUP, and all the linear phthalates (ideal for providing high flexibility even at low temperatures). Thanks to their versatility and unique chemical properties, phthalates are considered as universal plasticizers in most industrial sectors.
- How are phthalates and alternative plasticizers classified?
- Based on the classifications of plasticizers, the total concentrations of phthalates and alternative plasticizers were summed separately for source, gas, particle and dust phases. The data were further categorized by continent and sampled years to explore variation trends.
- Are alternative plasticizers more dangerous than phthalates?
- In contrast to phthalates, alternative plasticizers were reported less frequently and had lower dust-phase concentrations , . DINCH and DEHT were the top two alternative plasticizers of concern due to their high detection rates (see the dust sheet of Supplementary Material B for details).
- 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.
- What is the structure of phthalate plasticizers?
- The structure of phthalate plasticizers is that of a phthalate ester, which is simply a phthalate with, an ester group (see structure below figure 1) (1). (Figure 1.) Phthalate plasticizers are colorless liquids like vegetable oil with a faint odor, and they are insoluble in water.
- Why do alternative plasticizers have lower dust-phase concentrations than phthalates?
- The lower dust-phase concentrations of alternative plasticizers compared to phthalates may be attributed to their larger molecular weight , , . As listed in Table 1, alternative plasticizers generally have larger molecular weights, which correspond to lower vapor pressures and lower y0 on source surfaces.
