  • What is Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP)?
  • Di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) is a phthalate used as a plasticizer in e.g. many technical products. It exists in two forms (and two CAS numbers), reflecting the two possible routes for isononanol precursor production. However their properties are similar.
  • How is Di-isononyl phthalate produced?
  • Di-isononyl phthalate is produced by one-step ester-ification of phthalic anhydride with isononanol (INA) and a catalyst. Two types of isononanol can be used for the synthesis: either a pure C9 fraction (synthe-sized from isooctene), or a C8-C10 fraction, C9-rich (synthesized from C7-C9, C8-rich alkene).
  • Which phthalate esters are used in ecobilan?
  • A comparison with the previous Eco-profile conducted by Ecobilan [ECOBILAN 2001] was made. In the current Eco-profile, only one plasticiser was used, whereas in the previous eco-profile three high volume commodity phthalate esters including Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) and Di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) as well as DINP were considered.
  • What are the properties of DINP Plastisol?
  • The main properties of DINP are low volatility and density. DINP displays good resistance to aging as well as easy plastisol coating, spraying and dipping. Further, it is also compatible with secondary plasti-cizers. Low volatility and density enables reduced process emissions and improved working conditions.
  • What energy inputs are used in the DINP production process?
  • Since the focus scope of ECPI and its member companies is plasticizer production, Table 4 analyses the types of useful energy inputs in the DINP production process: Electricity has a minor contribution here, whereas the ma-jority is thermal energy (heat).
