DiBPcontaining
DiBPcontaining is a term that has emerged in discussions related to plasticizers, specifically phthalates. It refers to the presence of di-isononyl phthalate (DiNP) within materials. DiNP is a type of phthalate ester commonly used as a plasticizer to increase the flexibility, transparency, and durability of plastics. It is often found in a wide range of consumer products, including flooring, cables, films, and some toys, although its use in certain applications may be regulated or restricted in some regions. The presence of DiNP is a subject of scientific and regulatory interest due to ongoing research into the potential health and environmental impacts of phthalates. While DiNP is considered a less regulated phthalate compared to some others, its environmental persistence and potential for leaching from products are factors that contribute to its consideration in discussions about chemical safety and material composition.
