General description

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)), is an ester of adipic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. It is a plasticizer and finds application in plastic technology, in order to impart flexibility to rigid polymers. It is an indirect food additive formed due to contact of adhesives with polymers.

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a well-known testicular toxicant inducing adverse effects in androgen responsive tissues. Therefore, di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) is currently being evaluated as a potential substitute for DEHP. Similarities in structure and metabolism of DEHP and DEHA have led
