1. Phthalate esters are the diakyll or alkyl aryl esters of phthalic acid
2. The phthalates have a clear syrupy liquid consistency and show low water solubility, high oil solubility, and low volatility
3. When added to plastics, phthalates allow long polyvinyl molecules to slide against one another
4. They are colorless, odorless liquids
5. They are produced by reacting phtalic anhydride with an appropriate alchohol (typically 6- to 13-carbon.)
