Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non-phthalates)
Plasticizers are usually grouped into phthalates and non-phthalates. Phthalates still represent the majority in the European plasticizer market, at around 60% [ 58 ]. However, since the end of the 1990s there has been a steady shift within the phthalate plasticizers from LMW phthalates toward HMW phthalates [ 45 ].
