Eastman 168 SG (Sensitive Grade) Non-Phthalate Plasticizer
Product description Eastman 168 SG non-phthalate plasticizer is an enhanced grade of the industry-leading Eastman 168 non-phthalate plasticizer, specifically targeted at more demanding applications such as medical devices, toys, childcare articles, and food contact applications.
Nonphthalate Plasticizers in House Dust from Multiple Countries: An
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
Perspectives on alternatives to phthalate plasticized poly(vinyl
The most widely used PVC plasticizers are phthalate esters, particularly di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), which usually represent up to 40–50% of the weight of the plastic items. Phthalates account for 80% of all plasticizer production [6] while DEHP is responsible for over 50% of worldwide phthalate production [7].

Phthalates in Food Packaging and Food Contact Applications
Ortho -phthalates, often referred to as “phthalates,” are chemicals used in plastic products (most commonly in the specific type of plastic named polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC or vinyl) to...
- Do plasticizers contain phthalates?
- This study addresses the gap by providing a comprehensive overview of the occurrence and key transport parameters of the most reported plasticizers, including 10 phthalates and 14 alternative plasticizers. The plasticizer content in source materials was found to range up to 27.6 wt%.
- Are there alternatives to phthalate plasticizers?
- CALCE has been being interested in the performance and reliability of newly alternative materials, which are aligned to the legislations, and proposed potential alternatives to phthalate plasticizers, including bio-based substitutes and thermoplastic elastomers.
- What are the different types of phthalate plasticizers?
- Among them, the most common are: Phthalate Esters – Produced by esterification of phthalic anhydride or phthalic acid. Obtained by the oxidation of orthoxylene or naphthalene. Most commonly used phthalate plasticizers include: DEHP: Low molecular weight ortho-phthalate. Still the world’s most widely used PVC plasticizer
- Are phthalates and alternative plasticizers present in indoor environments?
- Consequently, plasticizers are widely present in the gas, airborne particle, and dust phases within indoor environments. Numerous field studies have been conducted to determine the indoor concentrations of phthalates and alternative plasticizers quantitatively.
- Which phthalate is used as a plasticizer for PVC?
- DTDP is the highest weight dialkyl phthalate to be used as a plasticizer. It was widely used as a high temperature plasticizer for PVC until trimellitates came into existence. It needs high processing temperatures for compounding with PVC. Cost: Phthalates are used as PVC plasticizers since the earliest days of flexible PVC.
- Are phthalates more common in airborne particle phases than plasticizers?
- Phthalates were more frequently detected in both the gas and airborne particle phases compared to alternative plasticizers, which is consistent with the findings for plasticizers in the dust phase , , .
