FAQ

What is Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (CAS: 117-81-7)?

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (CAS: 117-81-7) is an organic compound, specifically an ester of phthalic acid. Its chemical formula is C24H38O4. It is a colorless, odorless liquid with low solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents. This compound is commonly used as a plasticizer to enhance the flexibility and durability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials. It has a high boiling point and is stable under normal conditions, making it suitable for various industrial applications.

What are the main uses of Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (CAS: 117-81-7)?

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (CAS: 117-81-7) is primarily used as a plasticizer in the production of flexible PVC, medical devices, and construction materials. It also finds applications in pharmaceuticals for drug formulation, in food packaging to ensure material safety, and in cosmetics for texture improvement. Additionally, it is utilized in research settings as a model compound for studying phthalate behavior and in industrial coatings for enhanced material performance.

Is Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (CAS: 117-81-7) safe?

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (CAS: 117-81-7) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used within regulatory limits, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications. However, prolonged exposure may pose health risks, including potential endocrine disruption. Safety standards require proper handling with protective equipment and ventilation. It is classified as a low-toxicity substance but should be avoided in high concentrations to ensure compliance with safety guidelines and minimize adverse effects.

How should Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (CAS: 117-81-7) be stored?

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (CAS: 117-81-7) should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat sources. Maintain storage conditions at temperatures below 25°C and humidity levels below 60% to ensure stability. Use airtight, corrosion-resistant containers to prevent contamination and evaporation. Avoid exposure to air and moisture to maintain product integrity and safety. Proper storage is critical to prevent degradation and ensure long-term usability.
