Thanks, TeeDub.
Hi Bruce,
If you are buying phthalates in drums, especially from a distributor, then you are correct. Even in bulk directly from some producers you are correct, but there are low cost phthalates out there that can actually be cheaper than PAOs. These are mostly plasticizer grade esters. The main use for phthalates is as a commodity plasticizer for vinyl, as in hundresd of millions of pounds.
