Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
Nonphthalate plasticizers are not based on phthalic acid, and have a different chemical structure and toxicological profile. These include terephthalates (the most common is dioctyl terephthalate [DOTP]), epoxy, aliphatics, trimellitates, polymerics, phosphates, and others.
ICIS News - Chemical Profile: Asia plasticizers
Plasticizers – phthalate and non-phthalatebased – are used in flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to provide plasticity or elasticity to PVC film, roofing, flooring and wall coverings. As additives, they increase the flexibility and durability of the products.
ICIS News - Chemical profile: Europe LLDPE
Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a thermoplastic polymer used mainly in the film sector. More than 80% of global LLDPE is used as film for food and non-food packaging. Stretch film is used for industrial packaging and LLDPE can be used for a wide range of other applications.
