Di-n-propyl phthalate is used to make plasticizers and polymer additives. It is also used in chemical reagents, organic intermediates.
Uses
Uses
Di-n-propyl Phthalate is a phthalate metabolite of Di-n-butyl phthalate (D429495) degradation with potential genotoxic effect.
Definition
ChEBI: A phthalate ester that is the dipropyl ester of benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid.
General Description
Colorless liquid.
Reactivity Profile
DIPROPYL PHTHALATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for DIPROPYL PHTHALATE are not available. DIPROPYL PHTHALATE is probably combustible.
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by
intraperitoneal route. Experimental
reproductive effects. An irritant.
Combustible when exposed to heat and
flame. When heated to decomposition it
emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
