  • Which phthalate plasticizers are used in flexible PVC packaging?
  • Human biomonitoring data are available for DINCH, DOTP, DEHA, DINA, and TOTM, and indicate that total exposures from all sources are below regulatory thresholds. Several non-ortho phthalate plasticizers, including ATBC, DEHA, DINCH, DOTP, and ESBO, are currently used in flexible PVC applications for food packaging and processing.
  • Can a PVC plasticizer reduce DEHP leaching?
  • Although DEHP leaching can be decreased or prevented using DEHP-free plasticizers, the lifecycle hazards associated with PVC are not addressed in this method. 13 A second alternative is to replace the PVC entirely through the use of another naturally flexible polymer.
  • Which plasticizers are used in food packaging & processing?
  • Available assessments and studies show that the plasticizers currently used in food packaging and processing, ATBC, DEHA, DINCH, DOTP, and ESBO, are well-studied and demonstrate low toxicity. Monomeric plasticizers also show minimal migration in aqueous and low alcohol foods and are well-suited for these applications.
  • Are there alternative plasticizers?
  • There are a considerable number of alternative plasticizers in employment, without any toxicological data available (dibutyl adipate, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and bis-2-ethylhexyl sebacate, to name a few).
  • What plasticizers does BASF manufacture?
  • BASF manufactures a range of plasticizers, including ortho-phthalates, adipates, trimellitates, DINCH, and DOTP. The authors would like to thank Ruby Burner, Lauren Heine, and Uwe Storzum for their helpful insight during the preparation of the manuscript.
  • Are PVC-free plasticizers safe to use in medical bags and tubing?
  • The existing yet incomplete toxicological and epidemiological data on DEHP-free alternative plasticizers and PVC-free polymers indicate they are potentially less harmful than neonatal exposure to DEHP, and can be considered suitable in medical bags and tubing, especially when used in high-exposure procedures.
