  • 219 Accesses

Abstract

Phthalate plasticizers, such as dioctyl phthalate (DOP), di(iso-octyl) phthalate (DIOP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di(iso-butyl) phthalate (DIBP), and di(iso-nonyl) phthalate (DINP), have the earliest use, the best performance, the broadest application, and the most production globally. Phthalate compounds have achieved an annual production capacity of 5 million tons in China and a consumption capacity of 3.6 million tons, about 1/5 of the global numbers.
