Plasticisers have a dual role of ensuring good film formation under adverse conditions and imparting flexibility to the polymer. Typical plasticisers would be dibutyl phthalate and butyl benzyl phthalate. Both of these plasticisers along with dioctyl (ethyl hexyl) phthalate are currently suspected of acting as oestrogen mimics or endocrine disruptors. It is strongly advised that there usage be carefully controlled and monitored. It will, in all probability, be some years before the reality of the current claims are scientifically proven or disproven.
