Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is primarily utilized as a plasticizer in several consumer products such as plastic films for packaging, toiletries such as toothbrushes, cosmetic formulations and other personal care products including perfumes.

Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 03/29/2016 --Diethyl phthalate (DEP), also known as phthalol or solvanol in the industry, is a diethyl ester of phthalic acid. It is a colorless, oily liquid with slight odor. It is soluble in most common solvents such as acetone and alcohols and partly soluble in cold water. It is not flammable at room temperature, however, releases a mixture of toxic smoke when combusted. It is acutely toxic to humans and can cause damage to the liver and Central Nervous System (CNS). Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is biodegradable but breaks down into toxic chemicals and potentially harmful for the microorganisms in the soil. Phthalic anhydride is manufactured commercially, through the oxo process and/or the ald-ox process involving ethanol and the oxidation of naphthalene or o-xylene. This phthalic anhydride is then utilized for the production of diethyl phthalate (DEP) by reacting it with ethanol in the presence of catalyzing amount of concentrated sulfuric acid. The diethyl phthalate (DEP) produced has a purity higher than 99.7%.
