  • Which plasticizers are used in food contact applications?
  • ATBC, DEHA, DINCH, DOTP, and ESBO are used in food contact applications, are well-studied, and demonstrate low toxicity. Seven other plasticizers, 2EHESBO, ASE, CMCHA, DBT, DEHCH, PETV, and TOTM, have recent but limited food contact clearances.
  • 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.
  • How do you calculate the daily intake of a plasticizer?
  • The urinary concentrations of the metabolites (μg/g of creatinine) may be used to estimate the daily intake (DI, μg/kg bw/day) of the parent plasticizer using the methodology of David (2000) and Koch et al. (2003): DI = UE * CE * MW of the parent / (Fue * 1000 mg/g) Table 4. Exposure calculations from human biomonitoring data.
  • Is human plasticizer exposure a risk factor for children?
  • Taken all together and keeping in mind that the food path may be the major route for human plasticizer exposure, these data conclusively show very low levels of exposure. Consequently, no risk is concluded for the general population including sensitive subpopulations such as children based on these data.
  • 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.
  • Can Esbo be used as a primary plasticizer?
  • While ESBO has limited compatibility at higher concentrations and is normally only used together with other plasticizers, esters of ESBO such as 2EHESBO may be used as a primary plasticizer at typical levels ranging from 30 to 60 phr (Frenkel, 2017; Storzum U, personal communication).
