Ortho-phthalates - Plasticisers - Information Center
High ortho-phthalates are commonly used in PVC products such as wire and cables, flooring, truck tarpaulins, wall coverings, self-adhesive films or labels, synthetic leather, coated fabrics, technical foils, roofing membranes and automotive applications. Other ortho-phthalates

Phthalates accounted for over 55% of world consumption of plasticizers in 2025, down from approximately 60–65% a few years ago; they are forecast to account for 50–55% of world consumption in the coming years. The decrease in market share has largely been due to the following:
Phthalates Factsheet | National Biomonitoring Program | CDC
Phthalates Factsheet. 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).

- What are phthalates and how do they work?
- Phthalates are a large class of organic molecules of the family of plasticizers, agents that intercalate in the chemical structure of macromolecules such as PVC which give the material the typical properties of the plastic substances.
- What are phthalate plasticizers?
- From a chemical point of view, phthalate plasticizers come from an esterification reaction between phthalic anhydride and an alcohol with specific characteristics. Phthalates are the most used molecules in many sectors of industrial production.
- What are the different types of phthalates?
- Although the phthalates belong to a large family of molecular organic compounds, some molecules are used more than others. Among them, we remember DEHP, DINP, DIDP, DUP, and all the linear phthalates (ideal for providing high flexibility even at low temperatures).
- Do phthalate cleaners work in contaminated sites?
- In addition, scientific data related to phthalate degrading genes and related gene products are still not sufficient. Considering these challenges, it can be said that field application with potent microbial inoculants in contaminated sites as phthalate cleaners may not work effectively. We have to find out ways to overcome these barriers.
- What are some characteristics dependent on the presence of phthalates?
- Some examples of characteristics dependent on the presence and quantity of phthalates into the plastic polymers are the degree of flexibility of the polymer, the resilience and the ability to migrate.
- How can phthalate be biodegradable?
- For this reason, additional supplementations of co-substrates such as acetate, glucose, or yeast extract are added to the media to accelerate bacterial growth and enhance phthalate biodegradability (Ahuactzin-Pérez et al., 2018; Gao and Wen, 2016; Li et al., 2019; Ren et al., 2016).
