High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis in food and environmental laboratories.
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is an organic compound used primarily as a plasticizer to soften polymer matrices. It is the diester of phthalic acid and 2-ethylhexanol, making it a colorless, oily liquid that is soluble in oil but not in water. DEHP is widely used in the manufacture of flexible PVC articles, hydraulic fluids, dielectric fluids in capacitors, and as a solvent in glowsticks.
DEHP is extensively used as a plasticizer in the production of PVC, which is utilized in various applications such as sewage pipes, medical devices, and household items like tablecloths, floor tiles, and shower curtains. It is also found in personal care products, cosmetics, and air fresheners.
DEHP is subject to various regulatory controls due to its potential health and environmental impacts. In the European Union, DEHP is classified as a Category 1B reprotoxin and is listed under the REACH legislation, which restricts its use in specific applications. In the United States, DEHP is regulated by the FDA and EPA, with specific limits on its use in food packaging and drinking water.
Monitoring DEHP levels in various environments is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to accurately measure DEHP residues. These materials are essential for validating analytical methods and ensuring the reliability of test results.
DEHP is known to be an endocrine disruptor, potentially affecting reproductive function and development. It has been associated with lower reproductive function in males, delayed puberty, and reduced testosterone production. DEHP exposure is also linked to obesity, thyroid dysfunction, and cardiovascular issues.
DEHP can leach into the environment from various sources, including industrial discharges and household products. It is commonly found in indoor air, drinking water, and food, particularly in fatty foods packaged in PVC. DEHP's persistence in the environment raises concerns about its long-term ecological effects.
To mitigate the risks associated with DEHP, various safety measures are recommended. These include using DEHP-free alternatives in medical devices, limiting exposure through food packaging, and adhering to occupational safety guidelines. Personal protective equipment (PPE) and proper ventilation are essential in workplaces where DEHP is used.
HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for DEHP, ensuring accurate and reliable residue analysis. Our products are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards. These reference materials are essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
