  • What is the difference between DIDP and DINP?
  • Both DIDP and DINP can cause developmental toxicity and liver damage, but DINP is considered the more toxic of the two because effects are observed at lower levels of exposure in rodent models. For DIDP, EPA determined that the evidence is not strong enough to conclude that it can cause cancer in people.
  • How many producers of DIDP & DINP are there?
  • There are currently four producers of DIDP and DINP in the European Union. The estimated production in 1994 was around 200 000 tonnes of DIDP and 107 000 tonnes of DINP per year (for the then twelve EU Member States) and the amounts have probably increased since then. Around 95% of DIDP and DINP is used in PVC as a plasticizer.
  • Can EPA conduct a risk evaluation of DIDP & DINP?
  • The risk evaluations of DIDP and DINP are the first two manufacturer-requested risk evaluations EPA has conducted. Under TSCA, manufacturers can request that EPA conduct risk evaluations on chemicals they manufacture. EPA received and granted manufacturer requests for risk evaluations of DIDP and DINP in 2019.

  • What is DIDP & DINP used for?
  • Around 95% of DIDP and DINP is used in PVC as a plasticizer. More than half of the remaining 5% involves polymer -related uses other than PVC (e.g. rubbers). The remaining DIDP and DINP are used in non-polymer applications including anti-corrosion paints, anti-fouling paints, lacquers, inks, adhesives and sealants .
  • Are DIDP and DINP TSCA safe?
  • There are other uses of DIDP and DINP that are generally excluded from TSCA, such as personal care products, cosmetics, and food contact materials, and EPA did not evaluate risk associated with these uses. The risk evaluations of DIDP and DINP are the first two manufacturer-requested risk evaluations EPA has conducted.
  • What is DIDP used for in non-PVC applications?
  • In non-PVC applications, DIDP is used for anti-corrosion paints, anti-fouling paints, sealing compounds, and textile inks. More than half of DIDP is used in polymer-related applications (e.g., rubbers).
