Bis(ethoxyethyl) phthalate is a chemical that is used to stabilize polymers. It is a dielectric material, which means it has a low electrical conductivity. Bis(ethoxyethyl) phthalate has been used in the production of plastics and rubber products. It can be found as a by-product in food packaging and other consumer goods, as well as being an additive for various paints and coatings. This compound also has the ability to act as an absorbent for liquids or gases. Bis(ethoxyethyl) phthalate is often added to plastics in order to reduce the amount of static electricity generated by friction. The matrix effect occurs when the polymer chains are entangled with each other, forming a three-dimensional network that can be stretched without breaking. This property makes bis(ethoxyethyl) phthalate useful for making disposable diapers because it increases the flexibility of these items while still retaining their strength.
