The assessment of potential risks related to phthalates, and in particular the use of DEHP in PVC medical devices, was subject to scientific and policy review by the European Union authorities, and on 21 March 2010, a specific labeling requirement was introduced across the EU for all devices containing phthalates that are classified as CMR ...
Phthalates were first introduced in the 1920s and quickly replaced the volatile and odorous camphor. In 1931, the commercial availability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the development of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) began the boom of the plasticizer PVC industry.
“We think of the crinkly polyvinyl chloride plastic that we’re so used to in food packaging, as coming that way just on its own, but phthalates are added to polyvinyl chloride to make it ...
Vinyl chloride is an organochloride with the formula H 2 C=CHCl. It is also called vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) or chloroethene. It is an important industrial chemical chiefly used to produce the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Vinyl chloride is a colourless flammable gas that has a sweet odor and is carcinogenic.
Phthalic anhydride treated with cellulose acetate gives cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), a common enteric coating excipient that has also been shown to have antiviral activity. [12] Phthalic anhydride is a degradation product of CAP. [13]
PVC and plastic production produces PVC dust [59] [60] with mortality confirmed among vinyl and polyvinyl chloride workers after reanalysis of data [61] and coronary artery disease and cancer death among vinyl chloride exposed workers [62] Rubber chemical manufacturing impacting mortality among these workers.

Dibutoxy ethyl phthalate is an organic compound and phthalate ester, baring 2-butoxyethanol groups. It is used as a plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride , polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate . Like most phthalates it is non-volatile, and remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures.
️ Material and construction: Rain boots are almost always made of rubber (natural or synthetic) or polyvinyl chloride. The interior linings are typically made of polyester. The interior linings ...
