Non-phthalate plasticizer gives flexible PVC an environmental
Perstorp, a leading supplier of polyols, is launching a new renewable-based polyol ester (non-phthalate) plasticizer Pevalen Pro. It will reportedly make flexible PVC an even more attractive choice of plastic, based on a significantly lower carbon footprint versus competing materials and technologies. With 40% renewable content, Pevalen Pro not
Phthalate-Free Plasticizer for Flexible PVC on the Test Stand
Phthalate-Free Plasticizer for Flexible PVC on the Test Stand The properties of polyvinyl chloride are adjusted using plasticizers for many applications. Phthalate-free plasti- cizers can keep pace here with conventional versions containing phthalates in many technical fields. This article demonstrates that based on a comparative study.
Biopolyurethane/Diethylhexyl Phthalate Hybrid Plasticizer
Worldwide concerns on the endocrine disruption of phthalate derivatives have sparked extensive research on its alternatives. One of the most prominent use of phthalate derivatives are on the plasticization of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Therefore, numerous carboxyl acids and their derivates have been studied as candidates for PVC plasticizer. Elastomeric polyurethanes have been extensively
Two Phthalate-Free PVC Plasticizers Stand Out in New Report
The Healthy Building Network (HBN) has released a research brief, Phthalate-free Plasticizers in PVC, that describes six alternatives to phthalate plasticizers. Phthalates are semi-volatile organic compounds used in PVC building products to provide flexibility and other performance characteristics (see The PVC Debate: A Fresh Look ).

- Are phthalate-free Plasticizer-based PVC gels safe?
- Phthalate-based plasticizers, which are commonly used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), exhibit toxic effects on both the environment and human health, leading to the exploration of phthalate-free alternatives. In this study, phthalate-free plasticizer-based PVC (Pf-PVC) gels were developed.
- Are PF-PVC gels phthalate-free?
- Phthalate-free plasticizer-based polyvinyl chloride (Pf-PVC) gels were developed. Pf-PVC gels exhibited excellent transparency (T ≈ 95.4 % at 550 nm). Pf-PVC gels showed improved flexibility especially under a lower electric field. Pf-PVC gel microlens demonstrated electrical-tunable focus length (5–29.3 mm).
- 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
- Which phthalate based plasticizers are used in the PVC industry?
- Among the traditional plasticizers, phthalate-based plasticizers, such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), account for more than 90 % of their usage in the PVC industry.
- Is PVC/uespcl phthalate-free?
- The flexibility and transparency of the PVC/UESPCL mixture, that is, phthalate-free flexible PVC, are comparable to the corresponding properties of the PVC/DEHP mixture, and the stretchability and fracture toughness of PVC/UESPCL are superior to the corresponding properties of the PVC/DEHP system.
- Can phthalate-free Plasticizer-based PVC gels be used in electroactive focus-tunable microlenses?
- This study demonstrates the characteristics of two phthalate-free plasticizer-based PVC gels and the possibility of their application in electroactive focus-tunable microlenses.
