Nonylphenol, a known endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), is a degradation product of the antioxidant additive tris(nonylphenyl)phosphite (TNPP) and therefore a non-intentionally added substance (NIAS). In plastics, TNPP reacts with peroxide radicals, thereby reducing polymer degradation.n the US, TNPP is cleared as an indirect food additive. Reference. Mottier, P. et al.
