Sweden publishes results of investigation into the use of phthalates in products

  • 2014-07-03

The Swedish Chemicals Agency (Kemi) recently released the results of its investigation into which marketed products in Sweden contain phthalates. Phthalate is primarily used as a plasticizer in PVC plastics, and is therefore most commonly found in cables, water pipes, wires, flooring and wall coverings, medical devices, packaging materials, sporting goods, and artificial leather. Current research indicates that many types of phthalates are reproductively toxic, and 12 phthalates are included in the EU REACH HVSC Candidate List. Furthermore, four phthalates were included in the Authorisation List of Annex 14 of the EU REACH Act. After February 21, 2015, a permit from ECHA (European Chemical Agency) was required to use any of these four phthalates. Using any of these four SVHCs without a permit was considered illegal: 1. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP); 2. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP); 3. N-butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP); 4. Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP). This investigation report indicates that due to EU regulations restricting the use of phthalates, Swedish manufacturers have begun using alternative plasticizers. In particular, the use of 1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (DINCH), a non-phthalate plasticizer touted as an environmentally friendly plasticizer, has seen a significant increase, with a 47-fold growth compared to the previous year's usage rate survey. This demonstrates the proactive efforts of Swedish manufacturers to meet the stringent requirements of the REACH regulation. It is recommended that Taiwanese SMEs exporting to the EU review whether their products use any of the four plasticizers listed in Annex 14 of the EU REACH regulation and adopt non-phthalate alternatives as early as possible to enhance their products' green competitiveness in the EU market.
