Mono (2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate

Mono (2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP) is an oxidative metabolite of Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) . Mono (2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate may protective sperm DNA damage. Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate is the predominant plasticizer added to rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to impart flexibility, temperature tolerance, optical clarity, strength and resistance to kinking[1][2].
