  • What is DEHP used for?
  • Di (2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer used to make PVC soft and flexible. DEHP is the world's most widely used PVC plasticizer and is used in virtually every category of flexible PVC. Where is it used?
  • and blood bags to footwear, electrical cables, packaging, and flooring. Why is it used?
  • Why is DEHP used in PVC tubing?
  • PVC is naturally rigid, but plasticizers are added to make the tubing flexible and expandable while retaining its shape. DEHP is widely used because it is low cost, processes well, and has provided good end-use performance. Why is Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics developing alternative tubing products that do not contain DEHP?
  • How many plants use DEHP?
  • Some 800 plants in EU use DEHP or preparations with DEHP. The main use of DEHP is as a plasticizer in polymer products (in EU this is more than 95% of the total use of DEHP), mainly in flexible PVC. The content of DEHP in flexible polymer materials varies but is typically around 30% (w/w).
  • What is the content of DEHP in flexible polymer materials?
  • The content of DEHP in flexible polymer materials varies but is typically around 30% (w/w). Flexible PVC is used in many different articles e.g. toys, building material such as flooring, cables, profiles and roofs, as well as in medical products such as blood bags and dialysis equipment.
  • Which phthalate metabolites are similar to DEHP and other phthalates?
  • DEHP and other phthalates have similar effects and also produce some of the same urinary metabolites (e.g., phthalic acid is a metabolite of several phthalate esters including dibutyl phthalate, butyl benzyl phthalate, etc.).
  • Where does DEHP come from?
  • Incineration of DEHP containing products – DEHP can be found in the exhaust air, gas-cleaning residues, slag and fly-ash. Disposal on land fills of DEHP containing products – Municipal landfills are known to emit DEHP (mainly through the leakage water).
