  • Can DeHa be used as a plasticizer?
  • Greater than 80% of DEHA in the U.S. is used in food contact related applications (Malveda et al., 2021), but outside of this application, DEHA is not usually used as a primary plasticizer but as a secondary plasticizer together with other plasticizers in formulations to improve low temperature flexibility (Godwin and Krauskopf, 2008).
  • Is DOS a good plasticizer?
  • DOS is a very useful plasticizer for organosols and plastisols. The viscosity of plastisols based on DOS as the sole plasticizer is approximately one-third that of comparable dioctyl phthalate systems. The initial viscosity advantage over dioctyl phthalate is retained, even on prolonged aging.
  • When should a plastisol based on DOS be used?
  • It should be used in minimal amounts that meet specific low-temperature performance requirements. DOS is a very useful plasticizer for organosols and plastisols. The viscosity of plastisols based on DOS as the sole plasticizer is approximately one-third that of comparable dioctyl phthalate systems.
  • What makes DOS better than phthalate and adipate esters?
  • The most important features of DOS are low volatility; high plasticizing efficiency; excellent resistance to extraction by water, soaps and detergents; and excellent flexibility at low temperatures. These basic qualities make DOS substantially better than phthalate and adipate esters (see Table I).
  • 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.
  • 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.
