Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global - IHS Markit
Phthalates accounted for over 55% of world consumption of plasticizers in 2025, down from approximately 60–65% a few years ago; they are forecast to account for 50–55% of world consumption in the coming years. The decrease in market share has largely been due to the following:
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers) POLYCIZER, MONOCIZER Functional Products Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well.
EcoFriendly Plasticizers IHS Chemical - IHS Markit
The concerns have caused the industry to move towards more eco-friendly plasticizers. The first trend is moving towards higher molecular weight and less migratory phthalates. PEP Report 62B reviews the technology for producing alternative plasticizers. Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) from terephthalic acid and 2-ethylhexanol [1]
Plasticizers Derived from Biomass Resources: A Short Review
The development of environmentally-friendly non-toxic plasticizers and biodegradable bio-based plasticizers to replace phthalates has been a research hot spot. Non-toxic green plasticizers with high performance, oil resistance, extraction and migration resistance used in electrical insulation, food packaging, and medical and health products are constantly being developed, produced and applied.
Effective, Environmentally Friendly PVC Plasticizers Based on
Succinate esters are promising PVC environmentally friendly plasticizers that can replace toxic phthalate plasticizers. They are not only less toxic than phthalate plasticizers but also show better resistance to plasticizer migration from the polymer matrix.
- What is plasticizer phthalate based?
- Plasticizer is a chemical substance capable of making plastics softer, and phthalate is one of the most common materials to achieve it. However, phthalate-based plasticizer has often been blamed for disrupting the hormone system and thus been restricted from toys and furniture.
- Where is phthalate-free plasticizer eco-dehch produced?
- Hanwha Solutions’ Chemical Division announced that it quadrupled annual production of phthalate-free plasticizer Eco-DEHCH. Up to 6.5 tons of it will be produced every year at a petrochemical industrial complex in the southeastern port city of Ulsan, South Korea.
- Are there alternative plasticizers?
- There are a considerable number of alternative plasticizers in employment, without any toxicological data available (dibutyl adipate, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and bis-2-ethylhexyl sebacate, to name a few).
- Are non phthalates worth it?
- Cerena reports claims that, non phthalates a total volume of 22% of world global plasticizers . rate of 9.5% per an num to 1900 kilo tonnes by 2025 . worthwhile in the near future [4 3]. Figure 7 shows the from 2014 to 2025 .
- Are emerging/alternative plasticizers harmful?
- Various emerging/alternative plasticizers entered the market following the ban on several phthalate plasticizers because of their harmful effects. However, there are limited data (especially peer-reviewed) on emerging plasticizers’ toxicity and environmental impact.
- Are plasticizers biodegradable?
- Plasticizers are additives used to ensure flexibility to polymer blends and thereby to increase their processability. As the typical plastic component phthalates and other fossil-based components contribute environmental issues since such compounds are not biodegradable.
