Plasticizers – Benefits, Trends, Health, and Environmental Issues
Plasticizers are colorless and odorless esters, mainly phthalates, that increase the elasticity of a material (e.g., polyvinylchloride (PVC)). Plasticizers soften the PVC to make it flexible and bendable. This opens up a huge range of possibilities for new applications. One of the main benefits of plasticizers is the durability they confer onto
Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global - IHS Markit
Overall, global plasticizer consumption will grow at a rate of about 3.5% per year in the next few years. Phthalate esters, based on phthalic acid, are the main types of plasticizers used since they satisfy a broad range of processing and performance requirements, as well as a large number of markets.
Specialty Chemicals Industry Overview - SCUP | S&P Global - IHS Markit
This report covers 28 specialty chemical segments categorized either as market-oriented products (used by a specific industry or market, such as electronic chemicals or oil field chemicals) or functional products (groups of products that serve the same function, such as adhesives, antioxidants, or biocides).

- What are ASTM plastics standards?
- ASTM's plastics standards are instrumental in specifying, testing, and assessing the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of a wide variety of materials and products that are made of plastic and its polymeric derivatives.
- What are plastic standards?
- These plastic standards allow plastic manufacturers and end-users to examine and evaluate their material or product of concern to ensure quality and acceptability towards safe utilization.
- What are primary plasticizers?
- These additives are helps in enhancing fertilizer application and storage processes. Primary plasticizers are essential additives used in the formulation of plastic materials to impart flexibility, durability etc. Primary plasticizers can be either phthalein-based or non-phthalein-based.
- What are primary plasticizers & phosphoric acid plant additives?
- Primary plasticizers are essential additives used in the formulation of plastic materials to impart flexibility, durability etc. Primary plasticizers can be either phthalein-based or non-phthalein-based. Phosphoric acid plant additives are crucial components used in the production of phosphoric acid.
- Are plasticizers SVHCs?
- They are NOT SVHCs. Although typically considered too volatile for wire and cable, the plasticizers DBP, DIBP and BBP- all SVHCs together with DEHP/DOP- have been notified to ECHA that they are contained in imported wire and/or cable articles.
- Why should you use specialty chemicals services?
- Our speciality chemicals services help you to understand your products' technical and performance attributes and meet regulatory compliance. Specialty chemicals, also known as performance chemicals, are used as ingredients in finished products and to improve manufacturing processes.
