Chemical Hazard Assessments of Alternative Plasticizers for Wire & Cable Applications
Date postedJune 1, 2013
Change Chemistry developed and led a collaborative effort to evaluate safer alternatives to a known toxic phthalate plasticizer used in wire & cable applications -- DEHP di(2-ethyl hexyl phthalate). The project generated robust chemical alternatives assessment to support substitution decision-making by GC3 companies and their supply chain partners by pooling knowledge, data, and funds. The project report Chemical Hazard Assessments of Alternative Plasticizers for Wire & Cable Applications summarizes the results and links to detailed chemical hazard assessments for nine plasticizers.
