  • 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 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).
  • How many producers of DBP are there in the EU?
  • There are currently 3 producers of DBP in the European Union. The estimated production in the European Union was around 26 000 tonnes in 1998, over two-thirds of which was used in the EU. Production has been steadily decreasing during the 1990’s.
  • Where is DBP found in the environment?
  • 3.3 High DBP concentrations in the environment are mostly found near by production and processing sites in waste water and nearby surface water. DBP is also found in sediment and soil, and in aquatic and soil-dwelling organisms near to sources. The highest levels in air occur around PVC processing plants. More...
  • What are the stages of DBP release?
  • 3.2 DBP can be released at different stages: production, distribution, processing, use, incineration and disposal. More... 3.3 High DBP concentrations in the environment are mostly found near by production and processing sites in waste water and nearby surface water.
  • Is DBP a phthalate?
  • DBP is a phthalate with the same core structure as DIDP and DINP but with two shorter side chains attached, each having four carbon atoms. It is an oily liquid that is soluble in fat and to some extent in water. More... 2. How is DBP used?
