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).
Plasticizers in Paint & Coatings: Uses, Types and Selection Process
DINP & DIDP are low-cost plasticizers that have been widely used in coating formulations. like highly-durable repair coatingsfor train, tram, metro and cranes rendering good elasticity and hardness properties. Other Plasticizers Other Plasticizers
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
DEHP: Low molecular weight ortho-phthalate. Still the world’s most widely used PVC plasticizer DINP, DIDP: High molecular weight ortho-phthalates Aliphatic dibasic acid Esters – These include chemicals such as glutarates, adipates, azelates and sebacates. They are made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and alcohols.
Jayflex plasticizers for advantaged performance - ExxonMobil Chemical
Jayflex DINP and DIDP plasticizers exhibit the lowest level of volatile losses and therefore the highest level of permanency. Maximum weight loss or change of mechanical properties (stress at break, elongation at break) before and after aging determines the suitability of compounds for wire and cable.
Diisononyl phthalate
Diisononyl phthalate ( DINP) is a phthalate used as a plasticizer. DINP is typically a mixture of chemical compounds consisting of various isononyl esters of phthalic acid, and is commonly used in a large variety of plastic items. Health Issues [ edit]
- What is the difference between DIDP and DINP?
- DIDP and DINP are acronyms that each refer to certain mixtures of phthalates. Most of the molecules in DIDP have 10 carbon atoms, while those in DINP have 9 carbon atoms. They have a common core structure with two long chains of molecules attached to the core.
- 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.
- 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.
- Is DIDP mutagenic?
- The European Food Safety Agency (EFSA, 2005), in its opinion on the use of DIDP in food contact materials, supports the NOAEL of 15 mg/kg/d from the dog study. This NOAEL was the lowest overall NOAEL determined for effects of DIDP in the EU RAR. In the EU RAR, it was concluded that DIDP is not mutagenic either in vitro or in vivo.
- How many tonnes a year is DEHP produced?
- The manufacture of DEHP has indeed decreased from 595,000 tonnes/year in EU-15 in 1997 to 340,000 tonnes/year in EU-25 in 2007 (ECHA, 2009a), for a total use of DEHP of only 221,000 tonnes/year in 2004 (EU, 2008) and ca. 210,000 tonnes/year in the last few years (ECPI workshop, 2009).
