Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is an organic compound which is commonly used as a plasticizer because of its low toxicity and wide liquid range. With the chemical formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 4 H 9 ) 2 , it is a colorless oil, although impurities often render commercial samples yellow.
Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) Maximum Permitted Concentration: 0.1% [5] Max for Cadmium: 0.01% [5] DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP were added as part of DIRECTIVE (EU) 2015/863 which was published on 31 March 2015. [5] PBB and PBDE are flame retardants used in several plastics.
Bretherick’s Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards is a well-established source of information on chemical safety, often known by its author’s name, and often cited in the chemical and chemical engineering literature. In recent editions it has been in two volumes, volume 1 being individual compounds and hazardous reactions, volume 2 being ...
As of 1983, around 60,000 chemical compounds were considered to be of occupational consequence. [1] Certain sectors have an increased potential for exposure to chemical and biological agents, including manufacturing, construction, mining, logging, and agriculture, as well as service sector workplaces such as in automobile repair, gasoline stations, pipelines, truck and rail transportation ...
Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) is a phthalate ester having the structural formula C 6 H 4 (COOCH 2 CH(CH 3) 2) 2. It is formed by the esterification of isobutanol and phthalic anhydride . This and other phthalates are used as plasticizers due to their flexibility and durability.
Hazardous chemicals present physical and/or health threats to workers in clinical, industrial, and academic laboratories. Laboratory chemicals include cancer-causing agents (carcinogens), toxins (e.g., those affecting the liver, kidney, and nervous system), irritants, corrosives, sensitizers, as well as agents that act on the blood system or damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes.
The path from the hazard to the safety shower shall be free of obstructions and tripping hazards. Water supply should be enough to provide at least 20 gallons per minute of water for 15 minutes (Section 4.1.2, 4.5.5). Hand free valve should be able to open within one second and remain open until it is manually closed (Section 4.2, 4.1.5).
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate, diisooctyl phthalate, DEHP; incorrectly — dioctyl phthalate, DIOP) is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 8 H 17) 2. DEHP is the most common member of the class of phthalates, which are used as plasticizers.
