DIBUTYL PHTHALATE

Appearance

Transparent oily liquid

Description

Is used in paints and plastics and as a reaction media for chemical reactions.

Function

Dibutyl Phthalate is used as a solvent in many janitorial products. Its harm to the user is limited because it usually must be eaten in order for the effects to be felt. However, dibutyl phthalate persists in the environment, and damages the hormone systems of animals. It is strongly suspected that humans eating these animals will be harmed as well.
