Sustainability in Coatings, Adhesives and Sealants

Plasticizers > Phthalates

Phthalates have been extensively used in the adhesive industry as general-purpose plasticizers. They are insoluble in water but miscible in most of the organic solvents, mineral oils etc. Being cost effective compared to non-phthalates, phthalate plasticizers are used in large volumes in adhesives and sealants. They offer durability, flexibility, weather resistance and are able to withstand high temperatures. The most commonly known phthalates are the dibutyl phthalates (DBP) and dioctyl phthalates (DOP).
