Commonly used, phthalates are present in many products of our daily life. Therefore, they are found for example in cosmetics, food, paints, clothing, medical devices etc…

- Di-n-propyl (DPP)
- Diisobutyl (DIBP)
- Di-2-ethylexyl (DEHP)

- Di-isononyl (DINP)
Why analyze phthalates?
Some phthalates are classified as substances with adverse health effects. In addition, some phthalates are also classified as toxic and endocrine disruptors by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Therefore, phthalates are allowed in certain proportions and are strictly regulated by European Directives, French standards such as NF EN 16521 or British Standard – BS EN 16521 .
