Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)

Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) is one of the most commonly used phthalate plasticizers (C₁₆H₂₂O₄). It is a colorless to faint yellow, oily liquid that is almost odorless or has a very faint aromatic odor. DBP has excellent plasticizing properties, good compatibility, and low volatility, and was widely used in plastics like Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). However, due to its potential reproductive and developmental toxicity, its use is strictly restricted and banned in many applications, especially toys and childcare articles.

    • Personal Protection:

      • Wear chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile, neoprene).

      • Wear impervious protective clothing.

      • Use a respirator for organic vapors if mist or vapor is generated.

      • Wear chemical safety goggles.

    • Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from strong oxidants.

  • First Aid:

    • Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, rest. Seek medical attention if unwell.

    • Skin Contact: IMMEDIATELY wash with plenty of soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

    • Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
