Dimethyl phthalate
Dimethyl phthalate ( DMP) is an organic compound and phthalate ester. it is a colourless and oily liquid that is soluble in organic solvents, [4] but which is only poorly soluble in water (~4 g/L). It is used in a variety of products and is most commonly used as insect repellent such as ectoparasiticide for mosquitoes and flies for animal

Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) is a short-chained ester known as a phthalate acid ester. It is majorly used as a plasticizer for the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and in the coating of cellulose films.
Environmental Impact on the Hypothalamus–Pituitary Axis
Dibutyl-phthalate (DBP), di(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP), and dimethyl-phthalate (DMP) are the most utilized, and they can be found in vinyl flooring, adhesives, detergents, lubricating oils, automotive plastics, plastic clothes (raincoats), and personal care products (soaps, shampoos, hairsprays, and nail polishes).
Oxidative degradation/mineralization of dimethyl phthalate (DMP)
A novel ferrate(VI)/titanium dioxide/ultraviolet [Fe(VI)/TiO2/UV] system was successfully established for the photocatalytic oxidation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP). This system demonstrated a higher removal efficiency of DMP (95.2%) than the conventional TiO2/UV and Fe(VI) alone systems (51.8% and 23.5%, respectively) and produced obvious synergistic effects.

compositions. DMP is used in explosives, printing inks, paper coatings and adhesives and as a fabric treatment. DMP is also used in insecticides and insect repellents (CIR, 2002). In Australia, DMP is imported as finished products or mixtures and as a raw chemical for local manufacture. DMP is used industrially as automotive parts, encapsulation of
- What is dimethyl phthalate (DMP)?
- Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) is a member of the group of esters of phthalic acid commonly known as phthalates, used ubiquitously as solvents and plasticisers worldwide. The Phthalate Esters Panel of the American Chemistry Council (2006 revised) derived three categories of phthalates based on use, physicochemical and toxicological properties.
- When was dimethyl phthalate declared a Priority Existing Chemical (PEC)?
- Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) (CAS No. 131-11-3) was declared as a priority existing chemical (PEC) for public health risk assessment under the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act 1989 (the Act) on 7 March 2006. The decision for declaration was based on:
- Is DMP a LMW phthalate?
- The NICNAS Phthalates Hazard Compendium (NICNAS 2008b) contains a comparative analysis of toxicity endpoints across 24 ortho-phthalates, including DMP. DMP has a straight carbon chain length of ≤3 and therefore is considered a LMW phthalate (refer to Section 2 for definition).
- Is DMP a mixed phthalate plasticiser?
- The leaching (migration) rates of DMP as a component of a mixed phthalate plasticiser (DINP+DMP) under mouthing conditions are based on those measured in human volunteers for DINP—a common primary plasticiser found in toys.
- What is the concentration of DMP in household products?
- Concentrations of DMP in domestic detergents, cosmetics, perfumes and personal care products are highly variable and range from 0.00004 % to 34 % (in combination with its analogue diethyl phthalate (DEP)).
- Is DMP used in cosmetic and personal care products in Australia?
- While it is known that DMP is used in cosmetic and personal care products in Australia, information on the DMP levels in these products is insufficient. Accordingly, the exposure estimate is based on the usage and concentration of an alternative phthalate, in this case DEP, which is commonly reported in cosmetic products in Australia.
