The Emerging Plasticizer Alternative DINCH and Its Metabolite
The use of the plasticizer bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and other plasticizers in the manufacture of plastic products has been restricted due to adverse health outcomes such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and asthma, for which inflammation has been described to be a driving factor. The emerging alternative plasticizer 1,2-cyclohexanedioic acid diisononyl ester (DINCH) still lacks

ELATUR CH (di-isononyl-1,2-cyclohexanoate) - Evonik
Plasticizers from Evonik offer manufacturers of flexible PVC and their products flexibility, safety and above-average technical performance with a consistently high level of quality. They act like a molecular lubricant: The molecules sandwich themselves between the polymer chains of PVC.
Hexamoll DINCH
Hexamoll DINCH is a colorless, clear and practically anhydrous liquid with a hardly noticeable odor. It is soluble in the usual organic solvents and is miscible and compatible with all of the monomeric plasticizers commonly used in PVC. Hexamoll DINCH is almost insoluble in water.
Is this phthalate alternative actually safer? - Futurity
A common plasticizer called DINCH—found in products that come into close contact with humans, such as medical devices, children’s toys, and food packaging—might not be as safe as initially...
- What is DINCH oil used for?
- DINCH is colorless oil. It is used as a plasticizer for the manufacture of flexible plastic articles in sensitive application areas such as toys, medical devices, and food packaging. It is of interest as an alternative for phthalate plasticizers, which are implicated as endocrine disruptors.
- What does DINCH stand for?
- 1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (DINCH) is a mixture of organic compounds with the formula C 6 H 10 (CO 2 C 9 H 19) 2. DINCH is colorless oil. It is used as a plasticizer for the manufacture of flexible plastic articles in sensitive application areas such as toys, medical devices, and food packaging.
- Can DINCH be used in toys and childcare articles?
- These restrictions for certain phthalates are now transferred into Annex XVII, 51 and 52 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 which ban the use of certain phthalates in toys and childcare articles and thus DINCH can be used safely in toys and childcare articles.
- What are plasticizers used for?
- Plasticizers represent a large group of chemical additives in order to increase the flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity of polymers materials. (1,2) As the most commonly used plasticizers, phthalate esters (PAEs) constitute about 80–85% of the global plasticizer market for use in polyvinyl chloride plastics.
- Why do we need a better understanding of plasticizer exposure pathways?
- These factors demonstrate that we need a better understanding of chemical-specific exposure pathways, toxicokinetics, and modes of action in order to achieve an accurate estimation of the exposure risks to the variety of plasticizers.
- What is Hexamoll DINCH?
- Hexamoll DINCH is listed in Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 by as Food Conctact Material (FCM) 775 by its chemical name, i.e. as 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, diisononylester. In the European Union 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester was not listed in directive 2005/84/EC.
