General Description

1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, monohexyl ester, branched and linear is a chemical compound commonly known as Diisononyl phthalate (DINP). It is an ester of phthalic acid and is commonly used as a plasticizer in various plastic products such as toys, vinyl flooring, and food packaging. DINP is a clear, colorless, oily liquid with a slight odor and is insoluble in water. It is known for its low volatility and high resistance to heat, making it a popular choice for use in products that require flexibility and durability. However, there have been concerns about its potential health effects, particularly on reproductive and developmental health, leading to regulations regarding its use in certain products.
