  • 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).
  • What is the market size of DBP?
  • The market for DBP has been decreasing over recent decades: In 1994 the production volume of DBP in the EU was 49,000 tonnes and in 1998 it was 26,000 tonnes, with an export of 8,000 tonnes. Gelling aid in combination with other plasticisers in plastics.
  • How is di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) produced?
  • DBP is produced by the reaction of phthalic anhydride with n-butanol in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid as a catalyst. Excess alcohol is recovered and recycled and the di-n-butyl phthalate is purified by vacuum distillation and/or activated charcoal.
  • 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.
  • How much DBP is used in the EU?
  • The manufacture has decreased over the last 10 years from 26,000 tonnes/year in EU-15 in 1998. A net export of approximately 2,000 tonnes/year is estimated (COWI, IOM & Entec, 2009). Thus, it is estimated that the net use of DBP in the EU is approximately 8,000 tonnes/year in 2007.
