Hexamoll DINCH BMB
Hexamoll DINCH is the non-phthalate plasticizer specially developed for applications with close human contact. Therefore, it is the ideal solution when it comes to high safety and quality standards for use in many sensitive goods such as: toys, medical devices, food contact applications, sport & leisure products, flooring, wallcovering.
Products
We've even got the right product for special applications. Our non-phthalate plasticizer Hexamoll DINCH is suitable for a whole range of sensitive applications such as food packaging, medical devices and toys, as well as environments that require very low migration tendencies and high oil resistance.
A review of common non-ortho-phthalate plasticizers for use in food
Additional plasticizers with food contact clearance. Other non-ortho-phthalate plasticizers have received approval for food contact applications in the U.S. or by EFSA over the past 10 years. To our knowledge and based on their absence in the analyses by Carlos et al. (2018), these seven products have limited use in food contact applications
Eastman Plasticizers for Food Contact
With clean toxicological and regulatory profiles including FDA and EFSA approvals, our non-phthalate solutions are especially suited for many food contact applications, such as food wrap film, PVC gloves, hoses and tubing, conveyor belting, and metal cap and closure liners.
- What are non phthalate plasticizers?
- DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate plasticizers are shown below.
- Which phthalate plasticizers are used in flexible PVC packaging?
- Human biomonitoring data are available for DINCH, DOTP, DEHA, DINA, and TOTM, and indicate that total exposures from all sources are below regulatory thresholds. Several non-ortho phthalate plasticizers, including ATBC, DEHA, DINCH, DOTP, and ESBO, are currently used in flexible PVC applications for food packaging and processing.
- Which plasticizers are used in food contact applications?
- ATBC, DEHA, DINCH, DOTP, and ESBO are used in food contact applications, are well-studied, and demonstrate low toxicity. Seven other plasticizers, 2EHESBO, ASE, CMCHA, DBT, DEHCH, PETV, and TOTM, have recent but limited food contact clearances.
- Can DeHa be used as a plasticizer?
- Greater than 80% of DEHA in the U.S. is used in food contact related applications (Malveda et al., 2021), but outside of this application, DEHA is not usually used as a primary plasticizer but as a secondary plasticizer together with other plasticizers in formulations to improve low temperature flexibility (Godwin and Krauskopf, 2008).
- Which plasticizers have food contact clearances?
- Seven other plasticizers, 2EHESBO, ASE, COMGHA, DBT, DEHCH, PETV, and TOTM, have at least some recent but limited food contact clearances; assessments from CPSC, EFSA, and robust summaries in the REACH dossiers were reviewed for these products.
- Are plasticizers safe?
- Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well. DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys.
