Usage

General Description

Phthalic acid hydrogen 1-(o-methylbenzyl) ester, also known as dimethyl phthalate, is a chemical compound commonly used as a plasticizer to increase the flexibility and durability of plastic products. It is also used in the production of adhesives and in the formulation of insect repellents. Dimethyl phthalate can be found in various consumer products such as cosmetics, fragrances, and household items. However, it has been associated with potential health risks, including reproductive and developmental toxicity, and has been subject to regulatory restrictions in some parts of the world. Overall, while dimethyl phthalate has industrial applications, its use and presence in consumer products are increasingly being scrutinized due to potential health and environmental concerns.
