Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
Overall, phthalates will continue to exhibit modest growth. For example, DINP will experience growth throughout the world. World consumption of phthalate plasticizers is forecast to grow moderatley during 2025–25. Nonphthalate plasticizers are not based on phthalic acid, and have a different chemical structure and toxicological profile.
Comparison of In Vitro Endocrine Activity of Phthalates and
Because of the deleterious effects of phthalates, regulations have been taken to decrease their use, and the needs for alternatives are increasing. Due to the concerns about the endocrine-disrupting properties of phthalates, it was deemed necessary to particularly investigate these effects for potential substitutes. In this study, we compared the in vitro endocrine activity of several
Highly efficient recovery of high-purity Cu, PVC, and
Thus, the developed methods allow for the successful quantitative recovery of high-purity Cu, PVC, and DINP without requiring any of the complex multistep physical separation processes involved in the conventional granulation technique for the recycling of waste wire harnesses.
Databook of Plasticizers - 2nd Edition
Databook of Plasticizers, Second Edition, contains data on the most important plasticizers in use today, including over 375 generic and commercial plasticizers. The data comes from a range of sources beyond plasticizers' manufacturers, allowing for a detailed comparison of properties between different plasticizers.
Plasticizers: POLYSORB ID, plant-based solutions
POLYSORB ID can be used to make diesters obtained from esterification of isosorbide with plant-based fatty acids. It offers outstanding compatibility and processability with PVC resins. Due to its great efficiency, it can be considered as an alternative of choice to standard petrochemical-based plasticizers. Phthalate-free diester plasticizer
- Are phthalates Universal plasticizers?
- Among them, we remember DEHP, DINP, DIDP, DUP, and all the linear phthalates (ideal for providing high flexibility even at low temperatures). Thanks to their versatility and unique chemical properties, phthalates are considered as universal plasticizers in most industrial sectors.
- Is hexahydrophthalate a good plasticizer?
- Compared with phthalate esters, hexahydrophthalate esters have lower densities and viscosities for use as plasticizers, which can improve the low-temperature softness of plastics, while other properties such as Shore hardness and mechanical strength.
- Are phthalate plasticizers the future?
- Phthalate plasticizers will still be the dominant type and production volume globally in the future, but those of long-chain (C 9 –C 10) alcohol-based esters and non-phthalate plasticizers will increase largely. As important additives for functional polymers, the market and application of plasticizers are very bright.
- What are the advantages of phthalate plasticizer?
- The currently most used phthalate plasticizers have the following advantages: (1) no chemical reactions with polymer resins at room temperature; (2) ease of melting; (3) good electrical insulation when added to polymers; (4) enabling high flexibility and strength at low temperatures; (5) low volatility in air; (6) low cost.
- Which plasticizers are environmentally friendly?
- Currently, commercial environmentally friendly plasticizers include aliphatic acid esters, citrates, epoxy, terephthalates, high-carbon phthalate esters, cyclohexane dicarboxylates (or tetrahydrophthalates), polyesters, phenyl polycarboxylates, etc.
- Are phthalate plasticizers a problem in China?
- Phthalate plasticizers are the dominant type in this field and occupy >80% of the total consumption in China, of which 70% is di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) [23, 24, 25]. Since the 1990s, based on the investigations of their pseudo-estrogen pollution, many countries have called for the restriction of phthalate plasticizers.
