Phthalate Di-butyl phthalate. Context - Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) is used in a wide range of products for everyday use such as plastics, paints, inks and cosmetics. Its widespread use has raised some concerns on the safety of this compound.
Phthalates (pronounced thah-lates) are chemical plasticizers that have been widely used since the 1950s to soften plastics that would otherwise be brittle and crack when bent. Because phthalates are not chemically bound to the plastics they're added to, they're continuously released into the air or food or liquid.ere's a list of the most common phthalates, which may come in handy for checking labels: 1  DBP (dibutyl phthalate). 2  DNOP (di-n-octyl phthalate). 3  DiNP (diisononyl phthalate). 4  DEP (diethyl phthalate). 5  BBzP (benzyl butyl phthalate). 6  DEHP (di 2-ethylhexl phthalate). 7  DiDP (diisodecyl phthalate). 8  DnHP (di-n-hexyl phthalate).
