  • What is DBP used for?
  • Production has been steadily decreasing during the 1990’s. Over 75% of DBP is used as a plasticizer in polymers such as PVC, 14% is used in adhesives, 7% in printing inks and 3% in other miscellaneous uses, including sealants and grouting agents used in construction as well as consumer products such as cosmetics.
  • What are the uses of DBP adhesives?
  • According to the Risk Assessment for DBP (ECB, 2004) the most important uses of the adhesives are for paper and packaging, wood building and automobile industry. Epoxy resins. Probably same application that in the Risk Assessment for DBP (ECB, 2004) is mentioned as "solvent in the production of fiber glass".
  • What is a substitute for DBP?
  • Has very similar application properties to DBP and may therefore be used to substitute for DBP in most, if not all, of its applications. The main alternatives to DEHP have been the two phthalates di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) and di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP).
  • What is dibutyl phthalate (DBP)?
  • Dibutyl phthalate is a chemical commonly used as a plasticizer in various products, such as plastics, adhesives, and cosmetics. It helps increase flexibility and durability. The chemical formula of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is C16H22O4. It consists of 16 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms.
  • Is DBP still used in printing inks?
  • One application described in the confidential part of the ECHA report. According to CEPE (European Council of producers and importers of paints, printing inks and artists’ colours), DEHP, BBP and DBP are no longer used in printing inks by CEPE/EuPIA (European Printing Ink Association) members following its classification as reprotoxic.
  • Can DBP be used in polychloroprene rubber?
  • The Risk Assessment for DBP (ECB, 2004) specifies that DBP is used in some polychloroprene rubber and nitrile rubber, but not in all polychloroprene (neoprene) or nitrile rubbers. New information on actual uses is not available.
