Plasticizer < Our Business | OCI
Plasticizers are categorized as phthalate-based, trimellitate-based, phosphoric acid-based and epoxy-based depending on the base material. It is produced by the ester reaction between alcohol such as Octanol (2-EH), INA, etc., and acids such as PA, TPA, TMA, etc. Depending on the base material, different grades of plasticizers are produced.
Hanwha Solutions' phthalate-free plasticizer Eco-DEHCH offers
Eco-DEHCH is one of the most recognized phthalate-free plasticizer developed by a research team at Hanwha Chemical, providing eco-friendly alternative for hazardous dioctyl phthalate (DOP)...
PVC Plasticizers and Stabilizers Following Safer Sustainable
BASF’s Phthalate Free Palatinol DOTP Plasticizer in Medical Product Use Alternatives to traditionally used DEHP (DiEthylHexylPhthalate) plasticizer are always of interest in the highly regulated medical plastic devices and broader healthcare applications.
Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP) from Korea
. . . dioctyl terephthalate (“DOTP”), regardless of form. DOTP that has been blended with other products is included within this scope when such blends include constituent parts that have not been chemically reacted with each other to produce a different product.
DOTP (DiOctyl Terephthalate)
DOTP (Dioctyl Terephthalate) is used in all of the flexible PVC products include toys, upholstery, fabrics as a non-Phthalate plasticizer. It is nearly colourless, clear and practically anhydrous oily liquid. It is soluble in the usual organic solvents like acetone, toluene. It is almost insoluble in water.
- Is DOTP a phthalate-free plasticizer?
- DOTP is an organic compound. It is a non-phthalate plasticizer. This colorless viscous liquid used for softening PVC plastics is known for chemical similarity to general purpose phthalates such as DOP, but without any negative regulatory pressure. It is one of the growing phthalate-free plasticizers because of European environmental restrictions.
- Will Hanwha halt production of phthalate-based plasticizer DOP in 2022?
- Given the growing need for observing the ESG mandate around the world, Hanwha Solutions' Chemical Division is seeking to completely halt its production of phthalate-based plasticizer DOP within 2022.
- Where is phthalate-free plasticizer eco-dehch produced?
- Hanwha Solutions’ Chemical Division announced that it quadrupled annual production of phthalate-free plasticizer Eco-DEHCH. Up to 6.5 tons of it will be produced every year at a petrochemical industrial complex in the southeastern port city of Ulsan, South Korea.
- Where is plasticizer made?
- Up to 6.5 tons of it will be produced every year at a petrochemical industrial complex in the southeastern port city of Ulsan, South Korea. Plasticizer is a chemical substance capable of making plastics softer, and phthalate is one of the most common materials to achieve it.
- Are phthalate plasticizers safe?
- However, the phthalate content in plasticizer is known to be toxic to humans. Therefore, its use is prohibited in wallpapers, flooring materials, toys and many other products. Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) plasticizers are used as an alternative, but done so at the expense of product quality.
- Are hydrogen-added plasticizers eco-friendly?
- As the production of eco-friendly plasticizers require advanced technology, the barrier to entry is high and its key strengths and strong value proposition assures there is no concern for oversupply. The hydrogen-added plasticizer is currently being manufactured by only two companies in the world: BASF and EVONIK.
