How are DIDP and DINP used?
DIDP
"GENERAL INFORMATION
ON EXPOSURE
There are currently four
producers of DIDP
in the EU. The estimated consumption volume
in 1994 is ca. 200,000 t/a. An increase
of the consumption of DIDP is to be expected
over the following years. Approximately
95% of DIDP are used in PVC
as a plasticizer.
The remaining 5% are used in non-PVC applications.
More than half of the DIDP used in non-PVC
applications involves polymer-related
uses (e.g. rubbers). The remaining DIDP
is used in non- polymer applications including
anti-corrosion paints, anti-fouling paints,
sealing compounds and textile inks.
For the estimation of
the releases to the environment through
articles containing DIDP,
the amount of substance included in articles
being used outdoors or indoors, as well
as the service life (technical
lifetime) of the respective articles
was estimated, as shown in Table
2.1."

"GENERAL INFORMATION ON EXPOSURE
There are currently four

The remaining 5% are used in non-PVC applications.
More than half of the DINP used in non-PVC
