  • Four Plastics Exempted from CPSIA Third Party Testing of Phthalates
    Issue No.: 05/16/TCD Four Plastics Exempted from CPSIA Third Party Testing of Phthalates A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking exempting four plastics from phthalates testing under the CPSIA was approved by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on 9 August 2016. The decision came following a research conducted by the Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (TERA) and other similar researches by the CPSC on the presence of eleven phthalates in four plastics used in children’s toys and child care articles. Once the rule has been approved, manufacturers shall not be required to conduct third-party testing in assuring compliance with the phthalate prohibitions for these four plastics. These four exempted plastics are: ¾ Polypropylene (PP) ¾ Polyethylene (PE) ¾ High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) ¾ Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) However, products made from the above plastics must continue to comply with Section 108 of CPSIA in which the “accessible plasticized component parts and other component parts made of materials that may contain phthalates” shall not contain any of the prohibited phthalates in concentration greater than 0.1% in children’s toys and child care articles. The six prohibited phthalates are: CPSIA Section 108 Phthalates Limit Permanent ban for use in children’s DEHP: di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate 0.1% toys or child care articles DBP: dibutyl phthalate 0.1% BBP: benzyl butyl phthalate 0.1% Interim ban for use in toys that can be DINP: diisononyl phthalate 0.1% put in the mouth or child care articles DIDP: diisodecyl phthalate 0.1% DnOP: di-n-octyl phthalate 0.1% Phthalates are generally used as plasticizers or softener of certain plastics.

  • Toxicity Review of Diisobutyl Phthalate (DIBP)
    identification, that is, a review of the available toxicity data for the chemical under consideration and a determination of whether the chemical is considered “toxic”. Chronic toxicity data (including carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity, and reproductive and developmental toxicity) are assessed by the CPSC staff using guidelines issued by the Commission (CPSC, 1992). If it is concluded that a substance is “toxic” due to chronic toxicity, then a quantitative assessment of exposure and risk is performed to evaluate whether the chemical may be considered a “hazardous substance”. This memo represents the first step in the risk assessment process; that is, the hazard identification step. * This report was prepared for the Commission pursuant to contract CPSC-D-06-0006.

  • CAS 84-69-5 Diisobutyl Phthalate (DIBP)
    CAS 84-69-5 Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) Toxicity The European Union classified DIBP as a reproductive Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC).1 A 2011 study observed decreased testicular testosterone in male rats fed DIBP for 4 days.2 Borch et al. 2006 found male offspring of female rats exposed to DIBP from gestation day 7 to gestation day 20 or 21 had significantly reduced anogenital distance.3 The Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel (CHAP) determined, due to toxicological profile similarities to Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), exposure to DIBP contributes to a cumulative antiandrogenic effect with other phthalates and should be permanently banned in children’s toys and child care articles at levels greater than 0.1 percent.4 In 2017 the CPSC permanently banned DIBP in children’s toys and childcare articles at levels greater than 0.1 percent.5 Exposure The 2015 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) monitored a metabolite of DIBP in human urine, and the levels appear to be increasing.6 Metabolites of DIBP were detected in the urine of pregnant Danish women in a 2010-2012 study.7 A significant correlation was found between DIBP metabolite concentrations in the urine of Danish children and increased levels of DIBP in bedroom dust and day care centers.8 Other DIBP is used as a substitute ingredient to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) due to structural similarities, therefore, its’ presence in products may increase.3 References 1.

  • Benzyl Butyl Phthalate Or BBP)
    Toxicity Review for Benzyl­n­butyl Phthalate (Benzyl Butyl Phthalate or BBP) Introduction Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) is a man‐made phthalate ester that is mostly used in vinyl tile (CERHR, 2003). BBP can also be found as a plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for the manufacturing of conveyor belts, carpet, weather stripping and more. It is also found in some vinyl gloves and adhesives. BBP is produced by the sequential reaction of butanol and benzyl chloride with phthalic anhydride (CERHR, 2003). The Monsanto Company is the only US producer of BBP (IPCS, 1999). When BBP is added during the manufacturing of a product, it is not bound to the final product. However, through the use and disposal of the product, BBP can be released into the environment. BBP can be deposited on and taken up by crops for human and livestock consumption, resulting in its entry into the food chain (CERHR, 2003). Concentrations of BBP have been found in ambient and indoor air, drinking water, and soil. However, the concentrations are low and intakes from these routes are considered negligible (IPCS, 1999). Exposure to BBP in the general population is based on food intake. Occupational exposure to BBP is possible through skin contact and inhalation, but data on BBP concentrations in the occupational environment is limited. Unlike some other phthalates, BBP is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in medicine or medical devices (IPCS, 1999; CERHR, 2003). Based on the National Toxicology Program (NTP) bioassay reports of increased pancreatic lesions in male rats, a tolerable daily intake of 1300 µg/kg body weight per day (µg/kg‐d) has been calculated for BBP by the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) (IPCS, 1999).

  • Labware Chemical Resistance Table
    Labware Chemical Resistance Table Interpretation of Chemical Resistance The Chemical Resistance Chart that follows is a general guide only. Because so many factors can affect the chemical resistance of a given product, you should test under your own conditions. Effects of Chemicals on Plastics Chemicals can affect the strength, flexibility, surface appearance, color, dimensions or weight of plastics. The basic modes of interaction which cause these changes are: (1) chemical attack on the polymer chain, with resultant reduction in physical properties, including oxidation; reaction of functional groups in or on the chain; and depolymerization; (2) physical change, including absorption of solvents, resulting in softening and swelling of the plastic; permeation of solvent through the plastic; dissolution in a solvent; and (3) stress cracking from the interaction of a “stress cracking agent” with internal or external stresses. Mixing and/or dilution of certain chemicals can be potentially dangerous. The reactive combination of different chemicals or compounds of two or more classes may cause an undesirable chemical effect or result in an increased temperature, which can affect chemical resistance (as temperature increases, resistance to attack decreases). Other factors affecting chemical resistance include pressure and internal or external stresses (e.g. centrifugation), length of exposure, and concentra tion of the chemical. 608 www.thermoscientifi c.com appendix Environmental Stress Cracking Environmental stress cracking is the failure of a plastic material in the presence of certain types of chemicals. This failure is not a result of chemical attack. Simultaneous presence of three factors causes stress cracking: tensile stress, a stress cracking agent and the inherent susceptability of the plastic to stress cracking.

  • Priority Chemical List
    PRIORITY CHEMICAL LIST Policy Number BBBPO-0017 Implementation 2019 Revision Date: Date: Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are committed to providing customers with safe, high quality products. To that end, the Company is issuing the below Priority Chemical List, which is a subset of its Restricted Substances List (“RSL”), to further reduce the use of certain chemicals of concern in household cleaning, personal care, and cosmetic products. In addition, the Company is responding to customers’ growing interest in ingredient disclosures by committing to ingredient transparency in certain private label products. It is the Company’s expectation that vendors of all household cleaning, personal care, and cosmetic products will remove, or at minimum, reduce the use of Priority Chemicals in their products, including parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde donors, NPEs, Toluene, and Triclosan. In moving to eliminate these chemicals from formulations, the Company expects suppliers to select ingredients identified as Safer Chemicals by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Safer Choice program, or to use EPA Safer Choice criteria or the safer alternatives Marketplace to evaluate and select safe substitutions. See https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice/safer-ingredients. The Company also encourages all vendors of household cleaning, personal care, and cosmetic products to include ingredient disclosures on product packaging. The Company is particularly committed to eliminating Priority Chemicals from private label baby personal care products. The Company is working collaboratively with suppliers to evaluate private label baby personal care products and to reformulate where necessary to eliminate intentionally added Priority Chemicals from those products, including in fragrances, by the end of 2020.
