High Phthalates

The term “phthalate” simply refers to a family of chemicals that happen to be structurally similar, but which are functionally and toxicologically distinct from each other. Phthalates are categorized as high and low, depending on their molecular weight. High molecular weight phthalates have 7 or more carbon atoms in their chemical backbone that gives them increased permanency and durability. Furthermore, high phthalates have been thoroughly studied and reviewed by a number of government scientific agencies and regulatory bodies worldwide. These agencies have found that high phthalates are safe for existing uses.
