DINP-DIDP: 2. How are DIDP and DINP used? - GreenFacts
The remaining DIDP and DINP are used in non-polymer applications including anti-corrosion paints, anti-fouling paints, lacquers, inks, adhesives and sealants . To estimate releases to the environment, the amount of phthalates included in articles being used outdoors or indoors as well as their technical lifetime has to be estimated.
2. How are DIDP and DINP used? - GreenFacts
An increase of the consumption of DIDP is to be expected over the following years. Approximately 95% of DIDP are used in PVC as a plasticizer. The remaining 5% are used in non-PVC applications. More than half of the DIDP used in non-PVC applications involves polymer -related uses (e.g. rubbers).
EPA Publishes Final Risk Evaluation for DIDP and DINP
DIDP is primarily used as a plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in consumer, commercial, and industrial applications. EPA identified industrial and commercial uses including use in automotive
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
It is progressively substituted by DINP (and DIDP). HMW plasticizers show a particular utility for uses requiring long term performance or durability. Processability, performance, availability and economics have made DINP a “general purpose” phthalate like DEHP and or DIDP. Therefore, DINP appears to be an alternative to most of the uses of
DINP and DIDP are not Endocrine Disruptors - cpsc.gov
DINP: Di-isononyl phthalate – is a substance composed of esters of phthalic acid and isononanol – is a commonly used plasticiser, 95% of which is used in PVC applications. More than half of the DINP used in non-PVC applications involves polymer related-uses (e.g. rubbers). DIDP: Di-isodecyl phthalate
- What are non-PVC applications for DINP?
- Approximately 95% of DINP are used in PVC as a plasticizer. The remaining 5% are used in non-PVC applications. In non-PVC applications, more than half of the DINP is used in polymer-related uses (e.g. rubbers). The remaining DINP is used in non-polymer applications including inks, adhesives and sealants, paints and lacquers.
- How many producers of DINP are there in the EU?
- Approximately four producers of DINP exist in the EU. The estimated consumption volume in 1994 was ca. 107,200 t/a. An increase of the consumption of DINP is to be expected over the following years. Nearly all (95%) of DINP is used in PVC as a plasticizer. The remaining 5% are used in non-PVC applications.
- What is DIDP used for in non-PVC applications?
- In non-PVC applications, DIDP is used for anti-corrosion paints, anti-fouling paints, sealing compounds, and textile inks. More than half of DIDP is used in polymer-related applications (e.g., rubbers).
- Is DIDP a good alternative to DEHP?
- Therefore, DIDP appears to be an alternative to most of the uses of DEHP (EU, 2008; www.dehp-facts.com), with the main exception for use in medical devices (European Council for Plasticisers and Intermediates (ECPI), ECPI, 2007). The main applications of DIDP are similar to those of DINP. DIDP is primarily used to soften PVC.
- 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.
- How much of DIDP is used in non-PVC applications?
- Approximately 5% of DIDP is used in non-PVC applications. More than half of this amount is used in polymer-related applications, such as rubbers.
