Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Many bio-based PVC plasticizers, such as vegetable oil-based plasticizers, cardanol-based plasticizers, lactic acid-based plasticizers, waste cooking oil-based plasticizers, polyester plasticizers, hyperbranched plasticizers and so on, have been extensively studied.
Bio-Based, Phthalate-Free Polyvinyl Chloride Plasticizer
A phthalate-free PVC plasticizer based on vegetable oils can be manufactured using a single reactor synthesis which drastically lowers complexity. Due to the low price of the feedstock, the plasticizer can be manufactured at the same price with similar performance compared to the most commonly used, banned phthalate, dioctyl pthalate.
Non-phthalate bio-based plasticizer for low temperature
This causes an increasing pressure from both public authorities and customers to shift toward the use of phthalate-free alternatives. Proviron is helping this transition by offering high-quality non-phthalate plasticizers. Proviplast 1944 is a non-phthalate bio-based plasticizer, which improves cold flexibility in sensitive applications.
Plasticizers: POLYSORB ID, plant-based solutions
Plasticizers Phthalate-free and 100% bio-based solutions offering the performance of standard general-purpose primary plasticizers. POLYSORB ID - isosorbide diester POLYSORB ID can be used to make diesters obtained from esterification of isosorbide with plant-based fatty acids.
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace phthalate plasticizer?
- Researchers have prepared a series of eco-friendly plasticizers with new structures by esterification, etherification, and epoxidation of bio-based raw materials, many of which have the potential to replace traditional phthalate plasticizers [23, 24, 25].
- Why are phthalate plasticizers becoming bioplasticizers?
- Owing to health concerns, depletion of crude resources and other factors, there is a gradual drift from traditional phthalate plasticizers to bioplasticizers in the plastic industry. Bioplasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, it’s by-products and waste.
- What are natural based plasticizers?
- Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the use of natural-based plasticizers that are characterized by low toxicity and low migration. This group includes epoxidized triglyceride vegetable oils from soybean oil, linseed oil, castor-oil, sunflower oil, and fatty acid esters (FAEs) .
- Are non-phthalate plasticizers effective?
- The response to the need for non-phthalate plasticizers that are effective, nonmigrating and nontoxic has focused on the development of plasticizing compounds derived from biomaterials or biobased materials [7 – 9]. Most often, these have been designed for use in PVC [10 – 12].
- Which phthalate is used as a plasticizer?
- Traditionally, phthalate esters, most prominently, di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate [DEHP], have been used as plasticizers. DEHP is produced from two inexpensive precursors, phthalic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. Phthalic acid is obtained from the oxidation of o -xylene, the least useful of the mixed xylenes from the reforming of naphtha .
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
