Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
Phthalic acid esters found applications as plasticizers for the first time in 1920 and continue to be the largest class of plasticizers in the 21st century [4]. Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), also known as dioctyl phthalate (DOP), was introduced in 1930 and has been the most widely used plasticizer since the 1930s.
Plasticizers: POLYSORB ID, plant-based solutions
Plasticizers Phthalate-free and 100% bio-based solutions offering the performance of standard general-purpose primary plasticizers. POLYSORB ID - isosorbide diester POLYSORB ID can be used to make diesters obtained from esterification of isosorbide with plant-based fatty acids.
Non-phthalate bio-based plasticizer for low temperature
Proviplast 1944 is a non-phthalate bio-based plasticizer, which improves cold flexibility in sensitive applications. Description Key Features: Bio-based solution Low-temperature flexibility Pharmaceutical and food contact approved Good oil extraction resistance Possible replacement to Hazardous plasticizers, for example phthalates.
Enabling sustainable materials with BIOSUCCINIUM - bio succinic acid
BIOSUCCINIUM is Roquette’s industry-leading bio-succinic acid, used as an ingredient in a wide variety of renewable industry applications and as an intermediate for bio-based polymers, resins, and much more. BIOSUCCINIUMS is a speciality grade bio-succinic acid. It is designed for industries which require high purity with arsenic, lead
- Can biobased plasticizer replace phthalates?
- Biobased plasticizers with low toxicity are expected to replace certain phthalates. The plasticizing effect of single biobased plasticizer is not good. Biobased plasticizer with synergistic effects is required. There exists the trade-off effect between the molecular weight and the compatibility.
- Why are phthalate plasticizers becoming bioplasticizers?
- Owing to health concerns, depletion of crude resources and other factors, there is a gradual drift from traditional phthalate plasticizers to bioplasticizers in the plastic industry. Bioplasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, it’s by-products and waste.
- 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) .
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
- Are biopolymers a good substitute for conventional plasticizers?
- The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers, such as phthalates and other synthetic conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
- Can biobased plasticizer be used as a heat stabilizer?
- The plasticizing effect of single biobased plasticizer is not good. Biobased plasticizer with synergistic effects is required. There exists the trade-off effect between the molecular weight and the compatibility. Epoxidized isosorbide ester can be used as a heat stabilizer. The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
