What Is Di Ethyl Phthalate?
Di ethyl phthalate, also written as diethyl phthalate or DEP, is a clear, colourless, oily liquid with a very faint smell. Its formula is C₁₂H₁₄O₄. It is made by reacting phthalic anhydride with ethanol.
It dissolves many substances, mixes well with alcohol and most organic solvents, and has low volatility. Because of these traits, it works as a plasticiser, a solvent and a fixative. You can read the chemical profile on PubChem.
Why Buyers Choose Us as Their Di Ethyl Phthalate Manufacturer in Maharashtra
For fragrance and cosmetic makers, a slightly off-colour or off-odour lot can ruin a batch. Here is what we focus on:
- Batch-wise quality reports: Each lot ships with a COA showing purity, acidity, colour and other key parameters.
- Grades for different uses: Industrial, fragrance and cosmetic-oriented requirements can be discussed as per your specification.
- Flexible packing: Drums for regular users and tanker loads for large buyers.
- Maharashtra advantage: Close to Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Pune, Nashik and Aurangabad, so transit is shorter and costs are sensible.
- Proper paperwork: SDS, GST invoice and specification sheet with every order.
Where Di Ethyl Phthalate Is Used
Here are the main applications:
- Perfumes and fragrances: acts as a carrier and fixative that helps scent last longer.
- Cosmetics and personal care: used in some formulations, subject to the rules of your market.
- Denatured alcohol: a common denaturant that makes spirit unfit to drink.
- Plastics and cellulose products: a plasticiser that adds flexibility.
- Coatings, lacquers and adhesives: helps film formation and flow.
- Insecticide and repellent formulations: used as a solvent or carrier.
If you work in these sectors, you may also want to look at related items such as Denatonium Benzoate for denatured alcohol and Acetone for solvent needs.

Safe Handling and Storage
Store di ethyl phthalate in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place in tightly closed containers, away from strong oxidisers and heat. Wear gloves and safety glasses, avoid contact with eyes and skin, and read the SDS before use. For waste and environmental guidance, refer to the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board.
Note for formulators: some countries restrict certain phthalates in specific products. Check the rules for your end market, especially for cosmetics, toys and food-contact items. The Bureau of Indian Standards is a good starting point for Indian norms.
