Diisodecyl Phthalate (DIDP) Analysis

Diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) is one of the largest volume, general purpose and high molecular weight plasticizers. It is a preferred plasticizer for flexible PVC products that require resistance to degradation due to high temperatures (such as wire and cable) or low fogging (automotive interior trim).

Diisodecyl phthalate is safe for use. It is not carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction category 1 or 2. A substance with endocrine disrupting properties also does not meet the criteria.

DIDP plasticizer is an excellent alternative in most flexible PVC applications. It is also useful when used in combination with other non-PVC polymers such as polyurethanes or polyacrylates used in coatings, sealants and sealant applications.

Diisodecyl phthalates The main benefits are:

• It resists aging better and has higher permanence and longer product life.
• Has lower density and efficiency for volume benefits
• Low volatility for reduced process emissions and improved operating conditions
• Has increased PVC compound electrical resistance for better insulating properties
• Low fogging for low interior emissions
• Provides permanent flexibility in cold climate conditions
• Better lubrication properties for higher extrusion outputs and lower energy consumption
• Suitable for application (REACH directive) for registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals

Briefly, diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) is a type of phthalate that is a plasticizer and softener used in the polymer industry and is also classified as a lubricant and additive. It is used in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride and other vinyl products such as wire and cable, and some children's toys also contain this compound.

Diisodecyl phthalate applied to the skin is very poorly absorbed. Two animal studies show that only trace amounts (two to four percent) of this administered compound are absorbed or excreted into the tissues. The main excretion routes of this compound are urine and feces.

Our organization also provides diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) analysis services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
