The Uses of Bis(2-methoxyethyl) phthalate
Plasticizer; solvent
The Uses of Bis(2-methoxyethyl) phthalate
It finds it application in cosmetic industry. It is also used as a plasticizer for toys, including inflatable water products, hoppers, play and exercise balls.
Production Methods
DMEP is formed by the esterification of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether with phthalic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst (sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid) or noncatalytically at high temperature.
Health Hazard
Dimethoxyethyl phthalate (DMEP) causes teratogenic, reproductive, and fetotoxic effects in animals.
Agricultural Uses
Phthalate is the salt or derivative of phthalic acid. Potassium hydrogen phthalate is the primary standard for preparing a standard sodium hydroxide solution. Dioctyl phthalate, an ester of phthalic acid and octyl alcohol is used as aplasticim inplastics
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Mddly toxic by inhalation. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. A skin and eye irritant. Mutation data reported. A pesticide. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fre, use water, foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
