PerfumersWorld“Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is a virtually odourless aromatic solvent. whilst being a very efficient solvent it is also quite toxic. it is not restricted by ifra. if used best use for non-skin contact products. it tends to depress perfume notes. we supply this for training and experimental purposes only. we do not supply in bulk. consider replacing with triethyl citrate (TEC) or other lower toxicity solvents like DPG,IPM,BB,ba.”
