Phthalates are chemical plasticizers that are often used in the manufacture of certain types of plastics. These compounds are often, but not always, used to make plastics softer or more pliable. Some phthalates are used as solvents for other materials.
Phthalates are used in hundreds of consumer products. Major products include, but are not limited to: toys and children's products, adhesives, vinyl flooring, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics, paints and plastisol inks, food packaging materials, cosmetics and personal care products, nail polish, perfumes, raincoats and similar apparel. , lubricating oils and detergents.
Many studies reveal that phthalates are possibly carcinogenic to humans and toxic to reproduction. Consumers are exposed to phthalates in many potential ways in their daily lives, including ingestion (e.g. microwaved food packaging), inhalation (e.g. powder), skin absorption (e.g. plastic bags and films), or intravenously (e.g. medical tubes, blood bags and catheters).
In short, phthalates are a family of chemical compounds used in many industrial applications, but mainly as additives in almost all types of plastics and vinyls to increase their durability, transparency and flexibility.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Phthalate-free analysis services are among the numerous tests carried out in this context.
