  • How many phthalates are produced in South Africa?
  • South Africa is the only producer of phthalates in Africa and approximately 40 000 metric tons are produced and consumed, mostly in the flexible PVC industry. Phthalates are divided into two distinct groups, with differing applications, properties and toxicological classifications namely ‘low phthalates’ and ‘high phthalates’.
  • What are the three most potent phthalates?
  • The three most potent phthalates are diethyl phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and benzylbutyl phthalate (BBP). Not only do they adversely affect health by themselves, but even in small doses they interact with one another in ways we do not understand.
  • What are low phthalates?
  • Low Phthalates such as DMP, DEP, DIBP, DEHP and BBP are low molecular weight phthalates which contain 8 or less carbon atoms on the alcohol part of the ester. These phthalates represent about 15% of phthalates consumed in Europe, however, this percentage rises significantly in global terms.
  • What products contain phthalates?
  • Cosmetics and personal care products - phthalates are used in a variety of cosmetic and personal care products, such as nail polishes, perfumes, hairsprays, skin moisturisers and shampoos. In one study, the levels of selected phthalates were measured in 102 branded hair sprays, perfumes, deodorants, and nail polishes.
