Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non-phthalates)
The plasticizer market changed in response to the restriction of low molecular weight (LMW) phthalate plasticizers such as Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) due to their hazardous properties. We investigated patterns and trends of 19 regulated and emerging plasticizers in house dust from German homes and in suspended particulate matter (SPM) from major German rivers.

Phthalates accounted for over 55% of world consumption of plasticizers in 2025, down from approximately 60–65% a few years ago; they are forecast to account for 50–55% of world consumption in the coming years. The decrease in market share has largely been due to the following:
Plasticizers | Pakistan
About us. We create esters including plasticizers' for PVC, vinyl resin, paints, inks. Our range of plasticizers' includes Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), Trioctyl Trimellitate (TOTM) , Dioctyl phthalate (DOP), Diisononyl phthalate (DINP), Dioctyl adipate (DOA) etc. we can also produce other esters e.g. butyl acetate, butyl acrylate and other plasticizers' e.g. Diethyl Phthalate (DEP), Dibutyl
Plasticizer | Nimir Chemicals Pakistan Limited
Plasticizer. Plasticizer is produced by esterification process. It is highly compatible with PVC and has an excellent plasticizing effect and also has average characteristics of various other plasticizers. PVC processing units are the largest consumers of Plasticizers. Principal Properties: Clear, Almost Colorless, Viscous Liquid.
Phthalates and other plasticisers: Plan to guide EFSA assessment
Such plasticisers include phthalates, structurally similar substances, and substances used to replace phthalates in FCMs. The protocol, which was finalised using input from a public consultation, transparently details the approach our scientists will use to retrieve and select data as well as to appraise and integrate evidence for the hazard assessments.
- What are some common phthalate plasticizers?
- Some common phthalate plasticizers are: Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) also commonly known as (dioctyl phthalate, DOP or diethylhexyl phthalate), historically used in flooring materials, medical devices, myriad consumer products, and high explosives, such as Semtex.
- Are phthalate plasticizers toxic?
- Phthalates are estrogenic compounds that can disrupt endocrine function and reproductive systems of animals, and studies have shown that especially lower molecular weight phthalate plasticizers are acutely and chronically toxic to a variety of aquatic micro-organisms, algae, invertebrates and fish.
- What is a phthalate alternative?
- DOA is a phthalate alternative and is highly suggested for electrical insulation, film and sheeting for use in low temperatures, low viscosity plastisols. DOA is also compatible with cellulose acetate butyrate, chlorinated rubber, ethyl cellulose, nitrile, nitrocellulose, polychloroprene, polyvinyl butyral.
- What is a phthalate alternative for PVC?
- DOA is a light colored, oily liquid used most commonly as a phthalate alternative for PVC. It is a monomeric adipate and offers excellent efficiency characteristics along with good low temperature performance. It can be used alone or blended with other plasticizers such as DOP.
- What is a phthalate adipate?
- It is amonomeric adipate and offers excellent efficiency characteristics along with good low temperature performance. It can be used alone or blended with other plasticizers such as DOP. DOA is a phthalate alternative and is highly suggested for electrical insulation, film and sheeting for use in low temperatures, low viscosity plastisols.
- Who makes ATS plasticizers?
- ATS chemical division produces a wide range of plasticizers specifically used by Rubber, PVC wires, Shoes, Inks, Coating and Plastics Industry. With a designed capacity of over 35,000 TPA, the superior technology added with greater expertise of our team makes our plasticizers best in the market in terms of quality, clarity and purity.
