The Emerging Plasticizer Alternative DINCH and Its
The use of the plasticizer bis (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and other plasticizers in the manufacture of plastic products has been restricted due to adverse health outcomes such as obesity,...
Hexamoll DINCH
Hexamoll DINCH is a colorless, clear and practically anhydrous liquid with a hardly noticeable odor. It is soluble in the usual organic solvents and is miscible and compatible with all of the monomeric plasticizers commonly used in PVC. Hexamoll DINCH is almost insoluble in water.
Biomarkers of phthalates and alternative plasticizers in the
Mainly DINCH and DEHTP have established themselves as frequently used substitute plasticizers during the last decade. Since 2012, the production of DINCH has been increasing at a rate of 10,000 tons per year, while the production of DEHTP was around 2000 tons in 2002 and 125,000 tons in 2017 in Europe (Bui et al., 2016; Lessmann et al., 2025).
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer by decreasing the viscosity of the polymer melt, the glass transition temperature (Tg), the melting temperature (Tm) and the elastic modulus of the finished product without altering the fundamental chemical character of the plasticized material.

- What is a non Phthalate plasticizer?
- Versatile non-phthalate plasticizer specially intended for use in applications that involve human contact. The following data were measured in the BASF Corp. laboratory. They do not represent any legally binding guarantee of properties for our sales product.
- Where can Hexamoll® DINCH be stored?
- Hexamoll® DINCH can be stored in tanks and drums constructed from normal carbon steel, e. g. A 283 grade. If severe demands are imposed on the product quality, we recommend that it be stored in tanks constructed from stainless steel, e. g. AISI TP 316 Ti (German steel No. 1.4541) or aluminum (AlMg3).
