  • 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.
  • What are typical impurities in plasticizers?
  • Typical impurities may be residual alcohols and ethers, acetals, and other esters formed during the esterification process. Most of the plasticizers covered in this review have a typical assay ranging from 99.8 to 99.9% for the main component.
  • Which plasticizers have food contact clearances?
  • Seven other plasticizers, 2EHESBO, ASE, COMGHA, DBT, DEHCH, PETV, and TOTM, have at least some recent but limited food contact clearances; assessments from CPSC, EFSA, and robust summaries in the REACH dossiers were reviewed for these products.
  • Can plasticizers be used as substitutes for ortho-phthalates?
  • Over the past 10 years methods have been developed for key alternative plasticizers, which is needed and important since some of the plasticizers may be used as substitutes for ortho-phthalates, particularly in sensitive applications.
