Bis(2-methoxyethyl) phthalate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties	Clear colorless liquid
Uses	Bis(2-methoxyethyl) Phthalate is a phthalate derivative found in cosmetic products.
Uses	Plasticizer; solvent
Uses	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.
