Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Abstract Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been widely used in the world. Petroleum-based plasticizers especially phthalates have been the most common plasticizers used in PVC. However, the global petroleum resources are becoming scarce gradually, and the hygienic requirements for plasticizers are increasing. Owing to the negative impact of petroleum-based plasticizers on human health
A potentially general approach to aliphatic ester-derived PVC
As sustainable alternatives, aliphatic ester-derived plasticizers feature low cytotoxicity, biodegradability, and renewability, but they can only partially replace DEHP in PVC formulations because they have a strong tendency to migrate.
Eastman Renew Plasticizers | Sustainability Without Compromise
Henry Li will discuss Eastman's Renew plasticizer sustainable solutions May 11 at the PVC Conference by iOM3. Eastman is a sponsor of the conference, which runs May 10–12. "Eastman is just getting started with sustainable plasticizers," said Li, market development manager of plasticizers technology. "We're creating a wide range of
Plasticizers – Benefits, Trends, Health, and Environmental
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.
Effective, Environmentally Friendly PVC Plasticizers Based on
The obtained ester mixtures were used as poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) plasticizers and their plasticization efficiency was determined in comparison to traditional, commercially available phthalate plasticizers, such as DEHP (di (2-ethylhexyl phthalate) and DINP (diisononyl phthalate).
- Are bio-plasticizers a sustainable alternative to traditional plasticizers?
- Bio-Plasticizers, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plasticizers, enhance PVC's properties while promoting sustainability across various industries due to health concerns.
- How do Bio-Plasticizers improve the mechanical properties of PVC?
- The primary mechanism involves reducing the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PVC, which is crucial for improving its mechanical properties. By lowering Tg, Bio-Plasticizers allow PVC to maintain its flexibility and ductility at lower temperatures, making it suitable for a wider range of applications.
- Is pevalen a phthalate based plasticizer?
- Finally, Sweden’s Perstorp has developed a renewably sourced, non-phthalate-based PVC plasticizer with its new Pevalen™ Pro, a PETV (PentaErythritol TetraValerate) product. The Pevalen™ Pro plasticizer product line is composed of three grades ranging from 8% to 36% renewable content.
- What are the best value-added PVC plasticizer options?
- Let’s now turn our attention to three value-added PVC plasticizer options that exceed the emerging requirements of REACH and European Union (EU) regulation. VESTINOL® 9 DINP is a very cost-effective, general-purpose plasticizer very useful in soft PVC formulations with a broad processing temperature window.
- Are bio plasticizers environmentally friendly?
- Unlike conventional plasticizers that are petroleum-based, Bio-Plasticizers are sourced from natural materials such as vegetable oils, starches, and fatty acids. They are considered environmentally friendly due to their renewable nature and lower toxicity levels. Why Use Bio-Plasticizers?
- What is a stabilizer in PVC plastic?
- Stabilizers are a key central additive in PVC plastic formulations. Flexible PVC materials are built upon liquid mixed metal soaps that are the most commonly used stabilizers.
