  • What are non phthalate plasticizers?
  • DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate plasticizers are shown below.
  • Which phthalate plasticizers are used in flexible PVC packaging?
  • Human biomonitoring data are available for DINCH, DOTP, DEHA, DINA, and TOTM, and indicate that total exposures from all sources are below regulatory thresholds. Several non-ortho phthalate plasticizers, including ATBC, DEHA, DINCH, DOTP, and ESBO, are currently used in flexible PVC applications for food packaging and processing.
  • 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.
  • What are plasticizers used for?
  • With the addition of plasticizers, vinyl compounds become flexible and can be used for wire and cable insulation, roofing membranes, toys, medical devices, as well as for products used in food packaging and processing. Ortho-phthalates have been used for food contact applications such as beverage tubing, cap liners and gaskets, and conveyor belts.
  • 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).
