Health, Eco Concerns Give Non-Phthalate Plasticizers a Push
DOTP from Eastman has been available for several decades as Eastman 168, and the company claims it is the market-leading non-phthalate plasticizer for PVC, offering performance equal to or better than most non-phthalates. It offers good performance properties, optimal low-temperature flexibility, and non-migration properties.

- Are plasticizers phthalate-free?
- nyl phthalate (DINP).Key FindingsHBN identified six phthalate-free plasticizer types, three synthetic and three bio-based, in use i ommercial PVC building products. The available data suggest that non-phthalate plasticizers present fewer hu
- 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.
- Why are plasticizers used in PVC building materials?
- Chloride (PVC) building materials. Plasticizers are added to PVC to make it flexible, but since they are not tightly bound to the PVC molecul s, they migrate from PVC products. Phthalates, the most commonly used plasticizers in PVC, are known endocrine disruptors – chemicals that interfere with hormone signaling, which is especially criti
- 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.
- How much do plasticizer imports cost in Asia?
- from $145 million to $612 million. The majority of those imports are likely to contain toxic phthalates such as DEHP, which, according to the most recent estimates, still holds 60% of the plasticizer market in Asia (“Evaluation of new scientific evidence concerning DINP and DIDP in relation to entry 52 of Annex XVII to REA
- 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.
