Safe Alternative To Worm Oil ?

Recommended Posts

Worm oil is DINP (diisononyl phthalate) or DOP (dioctyl pthalate), both of which are a pthalate used as a plasticizr. I think this is a point of confusion what with all the talk of "pthalate-free platisol", etc.

It has been mentioned in the past that "pthalate free plastisol" is kind of a gimmick. People want/like to hear that those bad carcinogenic pthalates are absent from the plastics used to make lures, but fail to realize that the other products that are added to the pthalate-free plastisol actually DO contain pthalates (colorant, softener, hardener, worm oil) and those products are therefore putting the pthalates back in.

There is pthalate free plastizers.so that is inacurate, tho they can be added back in via colorant etc, if it is no pthalate free. Esbo Eso etc is a dop dinp substitute, which can and is used as worm oil, softner etc. But it is not a essential oil.

 

Also used as a stabilizer in some formulas ;)
