Fundamentals of plasticizers | ExxonMobil Product Solutions
Plasticizers transform the properties of PVC to create the attributes we need in each application. Most PVC applications have a life-span of 10 to 20 years and beyond. Its long life-span makes PVC the perfect material for applications like building and construction. What is PVC? PVC has all the attributes needed to make it a widely used polymer.

Flexidone – A New Class of Innovative PVC Plasticizers
2.2 More cost effective dry blending A measure of the effectiveness of a plasticizer is its solubility temperature. This is the temperature at which a plasticizer completely dissolves a given PVC. Typical solubility temperatures lie between 87°C for butyl benzyl phthalate and 151°C for DINCH, with diisononyl phthalate at 129°C.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Cost: Phthalates which have been used as PVC plasticizers since the earliest days of flexible PVC are both inexpensive and effective. The collapse of oil prices which began in 2015 has further reduced the price of petrochemicals, including phthalate esters.
- Are high compound extensions possible with low cost plasticizers and filler?
- High compound extensions are possible with low cost plasticizers and filler and yet achieve good physical properties. For a given level of filler/plasticizer extension, higher physicals are achieved using high ethylene (higher crystalline materials) over lower ethylene (amorphous) grades of EPDM.
- What is a polyester plasticizer?
- Polyester plasticizers are a type of superior plastics additives, not only as the primary plasticizers but also as specialty additives in various PVC articles, polymeric materials, and rubber articles [41, 42, 43]. Polyester plasticizers are yellow or colorless viscous oily liquids that are odorless, non-toxic, and water-insoluble.
- Why are plasticizers so expensive?
- The costs of these plasticizers such as citrates are rather high due to the use of expensive catalysts, forcing the users to choose low-cost, traditional options. Accelerated elimination of toxic plasticizers and the invention of non-toxic candidates have become an inevitable trend.
- What are the properties of plasticizers?
- Volatility and extractivity The volatility and extractivity are important properties of plasticizers. Lower volatility indicates the product can survive higher temperatures.
- How to choose a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC?
- While selecting a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC, the main attributes to be checked are: Among them, regulation is an important decision factor while selecting plasticizers. In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on phthalate plasticizers. But in fact, not all phthalates are prohibited.
- Are phosphates a good plasticizer for PVC?
- Phosphates are primary plasticizers for PVC. They can be utilized as sole plasticizers or in a cost-optimized blend. Triaryl phosphates show excellent flame retardancy with low volatility. However, they have poorer low-temperature flexibility.
