  • Are alternative plasticizers safe for flexible PVC medical compounds?
  • While phthalate esters such as DEHP are the most widely used plasticizers for flexible PVC medical compounds and have been for 50 years, issues concerning their possible effects on human health have caused some device manufacturers to consider compounds containing alternative plasticizers. Sometimes the pressure to do so is considerable.
  • Are PVC plasticizers toxic?
  • Toxicology. All of the toxicology data available for PVC plasticizers is based on rodent toxicology. In a comprehensive European1 study, DEHP is reported to have a NOAEL (no observable adverse effect level) of 4.8 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, while TOTM has a NOAEL of 100 milligrams (see table).
  • Are there alternative plasticizers?
  • “There are a number of alternative plasticizers on the market. While Teknor Apex is best known as a manufacturer of medical-grade PVC compounds, we also produce some of these plasticizers,” notes Galland.

  • Can DEHP be used in food contact products?
  • Recently, regulatory restrictions have been enacted limiting DEHP use. DEHP cannot be used in food contact products, such as tubing, in Europe. This regulation is expected to impact North American food companies in the near future.
  • How does Proposition 65 affect plastic products?
  • This directive regulates the manufacture and distribution of plastic products that come in contact with food. Proposition 65 of the Environmental Protection Agency of the State of California (USA) has listed DEHP as a substance known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.
