Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non
The broad use of plasticizers in large amounts in consumer and industrial products is associated with their occurrence in both the indoor and ambient environment. The ubiquitous presence of DEHP and other low molecular weight (LMW) phthalates such as BBP, DIBP, DnBP is well-documented [67, 81, 96, 98, 124].
Phthalates Factsheet | National Biomonitoring Program | CDC
Phthalates are a group of chemicals used to make plastics more durable. They are often called plasticizers. Some phthalates are used to help dissolve other materials. Phthalates are in hundreds of products, such as vinyl flooring, lubricating oils, and personal-care products (soaps, shampoos, hair sprays).

Nonphthalate plasticizers are not based on phthalic acid, and have a different chemical structure and toxicological profile. These include terephthalates (the most common is dioctyl terephthalate [DOTP]), epoxy, aliphatics, trimellitates, polymerics, phosphates, and others.
Phthalates and other plasticizers found in US fast foods
The team tested food items and the gloves for 11 kinds of phthalates and plasticizers, finding that: 81% of the food samples studied contained a phthalate called DnBP and 70% contained DEHP.
Uses of Phthalates and Other Plasticizers - U.S. Consumer
General Purpose Plasticizer: Offers the optimized balance of performance and costs Offers flexibility at the lowest cost Provides good low temperature properties and acceptable volatility Can be used with a variety of processing techniques Usable in almost every market segment Specialty Plasticizer: Imparts one or more special properties but may
- How many phthalates are there in indoor plasticizers?
- The global occurrence and concentrations of indoor plasticizers were reviewed. Widely reported 10 phthalates and 14 alternative plasticizers were investigated. Indoor plasticizers in 4 phases were discussed across multiple dimensions. Mass transfer and partition of plasticizer were analyzed for all indoor interfaces.
- Are there phthalates in alternative plasticizers?
- Generally, alternative plasticizers contain a variety of low-toxicity phthalates , such as Diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and Di (2-propyl heptyl) phthalate (DPHP), and non-phthalate chemicals , including diisononyl cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH) and di (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT).
- Why are phthalate plasticizers becoming bioplasticizers?
- Owing to health concerns, depletion of crude resources and other factors, there is a gradual drift from traditional phthalate plasticizers to bioplasticizers in the plastic industry. Bioplasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, it’s by-products and waste.
- Which phthalates dominate the plasticizer market?
- Chemical management varies considerably between regions and on a global scale. DEHP still dominates the plasticizer market . Therefore, target analytes were often restricted to DEHP and other LMW phthalates. House dust samples in China, for example, were strongly dominated by DEHP and DBP .
- Are phthalate plasticizers safe?
- Phthalate plasticizers are widely used in vinyl-based building materials. These include floorings and wall coverings. They provide them with flexibility and durability. The risk assessment results show that DINP and DIDP pose no risk to human health or the environment in any of their current applications.
- Are non phthalates worth it?
- Cerena reports claims that, non phthalates a total volume of 22% of world global plasticizers . rate of 9.5% per an num to 1900 kilo tonnes by 2025 . worthwhile in the near future [4 3]. Figure 7 shows the from 2014 to 2025 .
