  • How is diethyl phthalate produced?
  • Diethyl phthalate is produced industrially by the reaction of phthalic anhydride with ethanol in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid catalyst (Anonymous 1985; HSDB 1994). Phthalic anhydride is produced by either the oxo process or the Ald-Ox process from ethanol and the oxidation of naphthalene or o-xylene (Peakall 1975).
  • What is the international chemical assessment document 52 for diethyl phthalate?
  • The Concise International Chemical Assessment Document 52 for Diethyl Phthalate (WHO, 2003) includes a summary of a study by Tanaka et al. (1987) published in Japanese. In the study, groups of pregnant ICR mice (18–20/group) were administered DEP percutaneously on GDs 0–17 at 0, 500, 1,600, or 5,600 mg/kg-day.
  • What is diethyl phthalate used for?
  • More specifically, diethyl phthalate is used in nail polish as a solvent for nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate, in perfumes as a fixative and solvent, in toilet preparations as an alcohol denaturant, and in fingernail elongators as a plasticizer ( Anonymous 1985; EPA 1989; Hawley 1987; Verschueren 1983 ).
  • How to dispose of diethyl phthalate?
  • Recommended methods for disposal of diethyl phthalate include incineration and landfill. The best techniques for incineration are liquid injection and rotary kiln. The incineration range for the former is 650°C to 1,600ºC, with a residence time of 0.1 to 2 seconds. The temperature range for rotary kiln incineration is 820°C to 1,600ºC.
  • Is diethyl phthalate flammable?
  • Non flammable Diethyl phthalate is used as a plasticizer for film coatings on tablets, beads, and granules at concentrations of 10–30% by weight of polymer. Diethyl phthalate is also used as an alcohol denaturant and as a solvent for cellulose acetate in the manufacture of varnishes and dopes.
  • Is diethyl phthalate miscible?
  • It is miscible with ethanol and ethyl ether. Diethyl phthalate is soluble in acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, alcohols, ketones, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons and partly miscible with aliphatic solvents. Diethyl phthalate, when exposed to heat, decomposes and emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
