Get InquiryOn December 10, 2019, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) announced the publication of the updated risk assessment completed by the Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids (CEP Panel) on the five phthalates di-butylphthalate (DBP, CAS 84-74-2), butylbenzylphthalate (BBP, CAS 85-68-7), bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP, CAS 117-81-7), and di-isononylphthalate (DINP …
Quoted Price1.2.2 Major Functions of Plasticizers. The plasticizer is a type of substance that increases plasticity while not affecting the properties of plastics. Here are the major functions of plasticizers: weakening van der Waals interactions between the polymer chains; increasing the mobility of polymer chains (i.e., plasticity); enhancing the extensibility, flexibility, and flexurity; decreasing the …

Quoted PriceThe main alternatives to DEHP have been the two phthalates di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) and di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP). As illustrated in Figure 2.3 in Sweden the shift from DEHP to first of all DINP took mainly place in the period 1999 to 2002.
Quoted PriceDibutyl phthalate (DBP) is an organic compound which is commonly used as a plasticizer because of its low toxicity and wide liquid range. With the chemical formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 4 H 9 ) 2 , it is a colorless oil, although commercial samples are often yellow.
Quoted PriceAccording to Table 2, the concentrations of DBP and DEHP in surface water in China range from 0.01 to 133.7 μg/L and from 0.01 to 148.75 μg/L, respectively. The ecological risk of DBP and DEHP in six regions in China was assessed by HQ comparing the exposure concentrations and WQCs derived in this study.

Quoted PriceProposals for alternative plasticisers for specified traditional DEHP, DBP and BBP applications; Level of experience gained on the market with proposed alternatives, according to the manufacturers’ own judgement (4 simplified categories); Important processing adjustments, if any, compared to DEHP, DBP and BBP, respectively;
Quoted PriceBackground on DINP. DINP is a common chemical name for the category of chemicals that includes the following substances: 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,2-isononyl ester and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C9-11-branched alkyl esters, C9-rich. The primary use for DINP is as a plasticizer in plastic and rubber products.
Quoted PriceEastman 425 is a non-phthalate plasticizer for vinyl compounds and plastisols. It is compatible with PVC as well as PVC /VA copolymers. The performance of Eastman 425 plasticizer is equal or better than other higher-solvating plasticizers. Eastman TEG-EH (Triethylene Glycol Bis (2-Ethylhexanoate)) plasticizer is usually blended with …

Quoted PriceInformation on alternatives to DEHP, DBP and BBP, actually applied today, has been collected from the following data sources: Danish manufacturers and importers of toys and childcare articles; Surveys of plasticisers in marketed toys and childcare articles; Direct contact to major suppliers of plasticisers.
Quoted PriceJayflex™ DINP plasticizer is the largest-volume general-purpose high-molecular-weight plasticizer for PVC , providing the opportunity for cost savings with a good balance of properties. As shown below, it is an excellent substitute for Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DOP) in most flexible PVC applications.
Quoted PriceOne property of importance for the application of the phthalates concerned in this study is the gelling ability of the plasticiser i.e. the ability of the plasticiser to mix with the resin by processing. The ability decrease in the following order: BBP > DBP > DIHP > DEHP > DINP > DIDP > DTDP (Hoffman, 1996).
Quoted PriceIn phthalate-based plasticizers, thermal stability decreases in the order DTDP > DIDP > DINP > DOP > DIHP > DBP. Thermal degradation is more frequent at temperatures generally more than 200°C for o-phthalic acid (Moldoveanu, 2019) (e.g., phthalic acid decomposes into phthalic anhydride at 230°C [Wypych, 2015]). Still, phthalates from more …
Quoted PriceThe EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids (CEP Panel) was asked by the European Commission to update its 2005 risk assessments of di-butylphthalate (DBP), butyl-benzyl-phthalate (BBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), di-isononylphthalate (DINP) and di-isodecylphthalate (DIDP), which are authorised for use in plastic food contact material (FCM).
Quoted PriceAlso, DINP, DIDP, and DNOP would also be essentially banned with the new restrictions. In 1999, a risk assessment of DINP, DEHP, DBP, and BBP showed that DINP had essentially no reproductive risks associated with it. Even though there is evidence to support the low risk of DINP, the EU has unanimously decided to ban the phthalate from toys.
Quoted PriceReplaces nine FCM substance nos., including new specifications for DBP, BBP, DEHP and DINP (FCM nos. 157, 159, 283 and 728) Adds five new entries (FCM substance nos. 1078 and 1080-1083) Replaces three entries in group restriction of substances, including considerations of DIBP in group restriction no. 32.
Quoted PriceBenzoate-based plasticizers include trimellitates such as TOTM; phthalates such as DOP, DBP, and DINP; terephthalates such as DOTP. The ester alkyl group can be from either straight-chain or branched-chain alcohols with long or short chains. Tables 3.30 and 3.31 show the structure–performance relationship of DOP, DBP, DINP, and DOA.
