Plasticizers: POLYSORB ID, plant-based solutions
BIOSUCCINIUM based plasticizers have been evaluated in various polymers. Succinate plasticizers of average molecular weight are efficient plasticizers and enable excellent low temperature flexibility in PVC compounds.

iQ Natural: Closing the loop on PVC with bio-attributed materials - Tarkett
We had already used bio-based plasticiser in iQ Natural for years. The next generation of iQ Natural, released in the spring of 2025, is the ground-breaking result, being the world’s first floor with bio-attributed vinyl - BIOVYNTM - substituting 100% of fossil feedstock by renewable biomass, made under the principles of mass-balance.
Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Many bio-based PVC plasticizers, such as vegetable oil-based plasticizers, cardanol-based plasticizers, lactic acid-based plasticizers, waste cooking oil-based plasticizers, polyester plasticizers, hyperbranched plasticizers and so on, have been extensively studied.
Synthesis and properties of a bio-based PVC plasticizer derived
The plasticizing effects of ALHD as an alternative substitute for commercial plasticizer acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) in poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) were investigated in detail. The results show that the PVC films plasticized using ALHD have better organic solvent resistance and food mimic migration stability than ATBC.
Proviplast Additives by Proviron for Plastics
Polymers additives supplied by Proviron. Proviplast by Proviron is series of plasticizers featuring non-phthalate and bio-based solutions for the most demanding PVC applications where weather resistance and hydrolytic stability are critical. These plasticizers have low migration values as well as excellent thermal and UV stability.
- Are bio-plasticizers better than non-bio plasticizers?
- Bio-Plasticizers exhibit superior biodegradability and lower toxicity compared to their non-bio counterparts. They also provide better compatibility with PVC, leading to improved mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation at break.
- What are bio plasticizers?
- What are Bio-Plasticizers?
- Bio-Plasticizers are additives used in the production of plastics to improve flexibility, durability, and processability. Unlike conventional plasticizers that are petroleum-based, Bio-Plasticizers are sourced from natural materials such as vegetable oils, starches, and fatty acids.
- Can phthalate plasticizers be substituted for bio-PVC?
- However, the use of renewable resources for production of green plasticizers for PVC represents a promising option to overcome the environmental problems caused by phthalate plasticizers. Potential substitution of PVC with bio-PVC or other biodegradable polymers should be taken into consideration.
- Does bio-based plasticizer modify PVC film?
- PVC modified with bio-based plasticizers showed excellent thermal properties, as well as low values of exudation test, migration, and volatility. Low migration of PVC film was exhibited at the bio-based plasticizer modified with epichlorhydrin .
- Are bio plasticizers environmentally friendly?
- Unlike conventional plasticizers that are petroleum-based, Bio-Plasticizers are sourced from natural materials such as vegetable oils, starches, and fatty acids. They are considered environmentally friendly due to their renewable nature and lower toxicity levels. Why Use Bio-Plasticizers?
- Which plasticizers are used in flexible PVC products?
- The conventional petroleum-derived plasticizers used in many flexible PVC products are phthalate esters (also known as “phthalates”). The literature reported that phthalates represent more than 85% of world plasticizers production, of which 90% is annually used in PVC manufacturing .
