Phthalates are a group of chemical compounds primarily used as plasticizers to increase the flexibility, durability, and workability of plastics. They are commonly added to materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to make them softer and more adaptable for various applications.
Some phthalates are also used as solvents to help dissolve or blend other components in industrial formulations.

Vinyl flooring and wall coverings
Lubricating oils
Personal care products (soaps, shampoos, hair sprays)
