The study has been done as a screening, that is, it provides a snapshot of the occurrence of selected plasticisers and sweeteners, both in regions most likely to be polluted as well as in some very pristine environments. The pla- sticisers analysed were long chained phthalates and adipates, and the sweeteners analysed were aspartame, cyclamate and sucralose. The purpose of the screening was to elucidate levels and pathways of hitherto unrecognized pollutants. Thus the samples analysed were taken mainly from sewage lines, but also in recipients and biota, both in assumed hot-spot areas and in background areas.

  • 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.

  • High Performance Ester Plasticizers
    High Performance Ester Plasticizers Abstract Traditional elastomer polymers, such as nitrile, polychloroprene, chlorinated polyethylene and chlorosulfonated polyethylene, have for years used moderate- to low- performance ester plasticizers. However, longevity requirements for rubber articles made from these elastomers have created a need for higher-performance ester plasticizers. With the increasing high-temperature demands required by automotive, other elastomers such as acrylic, high-saturated nitrile, epichlorohydrin and ethylene propylene diene monomer EPDM are replacing the more traditional elastomers. Plasticizers commonly used for the traditional and the high-temperature polymers are extractable, incompatible or too volatile. This paper provides information on plasticizers that are designed for traditional elastomers and high-performance polymers. The test data will include heat aging, extraction by hydrocarbons and low-temperature as molded after aging. The information provided indicates that the permanence of the plasticizer after these various agings is the key to the retention of physical properties. Introduction End uses for elastomer compounds are quite diverse, but they can be loosely categorized as being either general performance or higher performance applications. Each of these performance categories requires a different set of considerations in terms of compounding with ester plasticizers. An ester plasticizer, in its simplest concept, is a high-boiling organic solvent that when added to an elastomeric polymer reduces stiffness and permits easier processing.1 For general performance applications, compounders require moderate performance in several areas without particular emphasis on any one. Some general performance ester plasticizers used in the marketplace today are DOA, DIDA, DIDP, DOP, DINP and other phthalates and adipates made from straight-chain alcohols of 7–11 carbons in length.

  • 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. It has not been reviewed or approved by, and may not necessarily reflect the views of, the Commission.

  • 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.
