Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
A primary plasticizer enhances elongation, softness and flexibility of polymer. They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear.
South Korea: plasticizer domestic demand 2025 | Statista
In 2025, domestic demand for plasticizer in South Korea amounted to around 284.5 thousand metric tons. This represents a decrease from the previous year. Domestic demand peaked in 2018 at...
Plasticizer
Ortho-phthalate esters have traditionally been the most dominant plasticizers, but regulatory concerns have led to the move away from classified substances to non-classified which includes high molecular weight ortho-phthalates and other plasticisers, especially in Europe. Antiplasticizers [ edit]
Plasticizers in Paint & Coatings: Uses, Types and Selection
Good stability to heat and ultraviolet light Broad range of compatibility, and Excellent resistance to hydrolysis Di-iso-octyl phthalate (DIOP) DIOP is like DOP, an all-purpose plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, rubbers, cellulose plastics, and polyurethane. Di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP) & Di-iso-decyl phthalate (DIDP)
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Citrate plasticizers have good miscibility, biodegradable, resistant to leaching and water and have legal use as additives. The demand for bioplasticizers is reported to increase from 887 kiltonnes in 2016 to 1900 kilotonnes in 2025 with a corresponding revenue of $1124 Million dollars 2016 to $2683.7 Million dollars by 2025.
- What are plasticizers used for?
- Mainly used for PVC, plasticizers improve the flexibility and durability of plastic end products. They also act as softeners, extenders and lubricants. SONGWON offers a comprehensive range of PVC stabilizers and plasticizers. In our PVC application lab in Ulsan, Korea, we support customers with expert formulation and performance evaluations.
- What are the benefits of using epoxy plasticizer?
- Synergistic effects when used with epoxy plasticizer Good heat stability Flexible calendering (wraps, bright films) Excellent heat stability and clarity No bleeding even when used for soft products Excellent resistance to water fogging No sulfide staining Rigid calendering and extrusion Excellent heat stability and clarity
- What are the advantages of polymeric butyltin maleate stabilizer?
- Rigid PVC calendering and extrusion Flame retardants ABS, PS etc Polymeric butyltin maleate stabilizer (powder form) Excellent heat stability as halogen capture for flame retardant ABS or copolymer of PVC and styrenic resin Excellent heat stability to PVC-ABS or PVC-NBR polymer blend Much more cost effective than butyltin maleate polymer
- What are the advantages of bz-191 Plastisol lubricant?
- Fine uniform cell structure and large blow molding ratio when used with foams kicker (stabilizer) such as BZ-191 Plastisols for blow molding (artificial leathers, wall papers) Excellent external lubricant complex Good processability for rigid PVC
- Can makgreen replace primary plasticizer?
- Makgreen can replace primary plasticizers ranging from 25% to 75% depending on the final product produced. The advantage of using Makgreen along with Primary Plasticizer and secondary Plasticizer varies in each of the application as mentioned opposite.
- Is makgreen a phthalate plasticizer?
- Makgreen is a new generation Non Phthalate Plasticizer and is light yellowish in Colour, it has an excellent compatibility with PVC resin when used along with other primary plasticizers such as DOP/ DINP/ DBP/ DOTP/ DPHP/ TOTM/ DOA and secondary plasticizers such as Chlorinated Paraffin.
