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
Nonphthalate Plasticizers in House Dust from Multiple
In 2017, the phthalate-free plasticizers accounted for 35% of global plasticizer consumption, up from 12% in 2005, and were expected to increase to 40% in 2025. (9,10) NPPs are complex in chemical structures, mainly containing functional groups such as benzoate, sebacate, azelate, adipate, terephthalate, trimellitate, citrate, oleate, and a few
Phthalic Anhydride and Derivatives Market 2025
Phthalates are the most commonly used plasticizers in the world and are categorized as high phthalates and low phthalates, depending on their molecular weight. Among the important plasticizers,...
Why my yoga mat scared me — and what I did about it
Well, it’s not exactly easy to answer. A common chemical found in yoga mats is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a plastic used in thousands of products: everything from pipes and wall coverings to children’s toys and, yes, some yoga mats. Some environmental health researchers worry about PVC because its most important feed stock, vinyl chloride
- What are some common phthalate plasticizers?
- Some common phthalate plasticizers are: Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) also commonly known as (dioctyl phthalate, DOP or diethylhexyl phthalate), historically used in flooring materials, medical devices, myriad consumer products, and high explosives, such as Semtex.
- What are plastic phthalates?
- Plastic phthalates, also known as plasticizers, are chemicals that make a piece of plastic move or bend, rather than crack and break. They are used in a wide array of products.
- Are phthalate plasticizers toxic?
- Phthalates are estrogenic compounds that can disrupt endocrine function and reproductive systems of animals, and studies have shown that especially lower molecular weight phthalate plasticizers are acutely and chronically toxic to a variety of aquatic micro-organisms, algae, invertebrates and fish.
- What are the different types of phthalates?
- Although the phthalates belong to a large family of molecular organic compounds, some molecules are used more than others. Among them, we remember DEHP, DINP, DIDP, DUP, and all the linear phthalates (ideal for providing high flexibility even at low temperatures).
- What are phthalates and how do they work?
- Phthalates are a large class of organic molecules of the family of plasticizers, agents that intercalate in the chemical structure of macromolecules such as PVC which give the material the typical properties of the plastic substances.
- What are some characteristics dependent on the presence of phthalates?
- Some examples of characteristics dependent on the presence and quantity of phthalates into the plastic polymers are the degree of flexibility of the polymer, the resilience and the ability to migrate.
