Diethyl phthalate （DEP）

Superiority:

Phthalates are mainly used in polyvinyl chloride materials, making PVC from a hard plastic to a flexible plastic, as a plasticizer. It is commonly used in hundreds of products such as toys, food packaging materials, medical blood bags and hose, vinyl flooring and wallpaper, cleaners, lubricants, personal care products such as nail polish, hair sprays, soaps and shampoos.

Phthalates are generally viscous liquids with very low volatility. Has a special smell, insoluble or insoluble in water, soluble in most organic solutions, low melting point, low toxicity. For different phthalates, the fat solubility and boiling point increase with the increase of the side chain. In addition, phthalates have the characteristics of ordinary esters, such as hydrolysis in acidic or alkaline environment, transesterification can occur, can be reduced by organometallic.

Phthalate is a kind of plasticizer, widely used in industry, medicine, life and other fields.

Industrial field

As a widely used plasticizer, phthalate is widely used in food processing and packaging, floor manufacturing, automobile production industry. The discovery and application of phthalate has promoted the development of plastic industry.

Field of life

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is often found in raincoats, rain shoes, gloves and other clothing containing flexible PVC materials; In addition to clothing, phthalates are also used in plastic parts commonly found in everyday toys and child care products.

Medical field

Phthalates are commonly used in the manufacture of medical devices, such as human health-related blood bags, injection syringes, artificial heart cast membranes, and uterine contraceptives.
