Diallyl phthalate is a chemical compound from the group of phthalic acid esters .
Extraction and presentation
Diallyl phthalate is conventionally made by esterifying phthalic anhydride with allyl alcohol or allyl chloride .
properties
Diallyl phthalate is a flammable, hardly inflammable, oily, colorless to yellowish liquid with a pleasant odor, which is very sparingly soluble in water. It contains two unsaturated groups in the molecule and can therefore polymerize directly to form crosslinked products.
use
Diallyl phthalate can be used for the production ( polymerisation ) of allyl resins by means of peroxidic catalysts . In many cases, polyester molding compounds are also added instead of styrene . For the actual diallyl phthalate molding compositions, however, the monomeric diallyl phthalate is prepolymerized on one of the two double bonds by a special process. Like other resins, this prepolymer is used to prepare curable molding compounds either in the melt flow or liquid resin process (resin solution). The prepolymerized product can then be polymerized further at the second double bond. Diallyl phthalate polymers are used for a variety of purposes because of their excellent properties ( radar hoods , components for nuclear and rocket technology, ...).
Risk assessment
Compared to phthalic acid esters with saturated alcohols , diallyl phthalate is relatively toxic. In the case of single and repeated oral administration, liver cell necrosis and fibrotic lesions in the periportal region are the most common. Diallyl phthalate is moderately irritating to the skin and mucous membranes.
Diallyl phthalate was not found to be mutagenic in bacteria. A clastogenic potential was observed in mammalian cells at doses, some of which were cytotoxic . In a carcinogenicity study, diallyl phthalate was not found to be carcinogenic in male rats and female mice. The results in female rats and male mice were assessed as questionably positive.
In 2012, diallyl phthalate was included in the EU's ongoing action plan ( CoRAP ) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) as part of substance evaluation . The effects of the substance on human health and the environment are re-evaluated and, if necessary, follow-up measures are initiated. Diallyl phthalate uptake was caused by concerns about its classification as a CMR substance, consumer use and widespread use. The re-evaluation took place from 2013 and was carried out by Spain . A final report was then published.
