  • What is plasticizer phthalate based?
  • Plasticizer is a chemical substance capable of making plastics softer, and phthalate is one of the most common materials to achieve it. However, phthalate-based plasticizer has often been blamed for disrupting the hormone system and thus been restricted from toys and furniture.
  • Where is phthalate-free plasticizer eco-dehch produced?
  • Hanwha Solutions’ Chemical Division announced that it quadrupled annual production of phthalate-free plasticizer Eco-DEHCH. Up to 6.5 tons of it will be produced every year at a petrochemical industrial complex in the southeastern port city of Ulsan, South Korea.
  • Are there plasticizers in fast food?
  • In this preliminary exposure assessment study, we report detectable levels of plasticizers in all foods sampled from several major U.S. fast food chains. DnBP and DEHP were the most frequently detected ortho-phthalates. DEHT was the most frequently detected replacement plasticizer and was detected at much higher concentrations than other chemicals.
  • Are ortho-phthalates and plasticizers in food comparable?
  • While several prior studies have measured concentrations of ortho-phthalates and plasticizers in foods, many are not directly comparable to our study due to differences in the food items sampled or the sources of foods (i.e., grocery store or market).
  • Are plasticisers present in PVC products authorised as food contact materials?
  • Carlos KS, de Jager LS, Begley TH. Investigation of the primary plasticisers present in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products currently authorised as food contact materials. Food Addit Contam Part A Chem Anal Control Expo Risk Assess. 2018;35:1214–22.
  • 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.
