CAS 523-31-9

Benzyl phthalate

Description:

Benzyl phthalate, with the CAS number 523-31-9, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phthalate esters. It is formed by the esterification of phthalic acid and benzyl alcohol. This colorless to pale yellow liquid is known for its low volatility and moderate solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. Benzyl phthalate is primarily used as a plasticizer, enhancing the flexibility and durability of plastics, particularly polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It exhibits good thermal stability and resistance to degradation, which contributes to its effectiveness in various applications. However, like many phthalates, it has raised environmental and health concerns due to its potential endocrine-disrupting properties. Regulatory agencies have scrutinized its use, leading to restrictions in certain applications, particularly in products intended for children. Overall, while benzyl phthalate serves important industrial functions, its safety profile necessitates careful consideration in product formulation and usage.
