Plasticizers | ExxonMobil Product Solutions
DTDP plasticizer Jayflex DTDP plasticizer is the highest-molecular-weight phthalate plasticizer, providing greater performance at high temperatures. It is the preferred plasticizer for automotive cable applications and THHN/NMB electrical wire insulation. Learn more Linear plasticizers
Mesamoll | The universal plasticizer | LANXESS
Some plasticizers develop a high potential regarding scope of use, but they are designed for a specific use. Unimoll AGF, our largely bio based plasticizer, was developed for the use in articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. Our Uniplex Benzoates are mainly solid special plasticizers used in hot-melt adhesive & equipment
Isononanol (INA) - Evonik Industries
As a C4-based alcohol, INA is a key component for the production of high-performance plasticizers such as diisononyl phthalate (DINP), diisononyl cyclohexanoate (DINCH), diisononyl adipate (DINA) and triisononyl trimellitate (TINTM), which all can be used in a broad range of applications.
Cargill launches Biovero bio-based plasticizer
The first application for Biovero plasticizers will be in the production of home and commercial flooring. Flooring manufacturers are seeing high performance with the plant-based product while meeting regulatory requirements and consumer demands for phthalate-free products.
- Why are plasticizers important in biopolymer-based films & coatings production?
- In biopolymer-based films and coatings production, plasticizers are also essential additives since they can improve flexibility and handling of films, maintain integrity and avoid pores and cracks in the polymeric matrix .
- How to choose a high-performance ester plasticizer?
- The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer. 1.
- How are plant oil-derived plasticizers produced?
- Methods for producing plant oil-derived plasticizers (POPs) typically rely on the well-established epoxidation pathway (Fig. 1 a) , with epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and epoxidized fatty acid methyl ester (EFAME) being two commonly used examples [18, 26]. However, these methods present significant challenges.
- Why do we add plasticizer?
- The addition of plasticizer leads to a decrease in intermolecular forces along polymer chains, which improves the flexibility and chain mobility. These are added to enhance film flexibility, decrease brittleness and avoid shrinking during handling and storage , , .
- What is the global production of plasticizers for PVC?
- In 2020, the global annual production of plasticizers for PVC amounted to 9965.5 kilotons . Despite the availability of diverse plasticizers, petroleum-based plasticizers, especially di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), remain dominant in the global market (65 %) .
- What are natural based plasticizers?
- Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the use of natural-based plasticizers that are characterized by low toxicity and low migration. This group includes epoxidized triglyceride vegetable oils from soybean oil, linseed oil, castor-oil, sunflower oil, and fatty acid esters (FAEs) .
