Phthalates are mainly used in PVC materials, making PVC from hard plastic to elastic plastic, playing the role of plasticizer. It is widely used in toys, food packaging materials, medical blood bags and hose, vinyl floor and wallpaper, cleaners, lubricants, personal care products (such as nail polish, hair spray, soap and shampoo) and hundreds of products, but it has serious harm to human health.
