  • How many producers of DIDP & DINP are there?
  • There are currently four producers of DIDP and DINP in the European Union. The estimated production in 1994 was around 200 000 tonnes of DIDP and 107 000 tonnes of DINP per year (for the then twelve EU Member States) and the amounts have probably increased since then. Around 95% of DIDP and DINP is used in PVC as a plasticizer.
  • What data did European DINP producers provide?
  • Three European DINP producers covering 90% of the European production capacity (EU27) delivered site-specific data for processes under their operational control. The upstream supply chain up to the precur-sors was modelled based on data from literature as well as GaBi 6 database.
  • How many producers of DIDP are there in the EU?
  • Approximately four producers of DIDP are currently located in the EU. The estimated consumption volume in 1994 was around 200,000 t/a. An increase in the consumption of DIDP is anticipated in the coming years. Nearly all (95%) of DIDP is used as a plasticizer in PVC, while the remaining 5% is utilized in non-PVC applications.
  • What is DIDP & DINP used for?
  • Around 95% of DIDP and DINP is used in PVC as a plasticizer. More than half of the remaining 5% involves polymer -related uses other than PVC (e.g. rubbers). The remaining DIDP and DINP are used in non-polymer applications including anti-corrosion paints, anti-fouling paints, lacquers, inks, adhesives and sealants .
  • Which data sources were used in the data collection of DINP?
  • The main data source was a primary data collection from European producers of DINP, providing site-specific gate-to-gate production data for processes under operational control of the participating com-panies: three DINP producers with three plants in two different European countries.
  • Are DINP and DIDP good plasticizers?
  • 6. Conclusion DINP and DIDP are widely used as plasticizers in polymer manufacturing. Due to their relatively low toxicity, DINP and DIDP have been seen as suitable replacements for more toxic phthalates (such as DEHP) in the manufacturing of consumer products.
