Plasticizers Phthalate Plasticizers Phthalates Phthalate plasticizers (phthalic acid ester) are plasticizers produced by the esterification of phtalic anhydride with alcohols. Phthalate plasticizers offer exceptional compatibility and resistance to volatility and cold.

Plasticizers Non-phthalate Plasticizers Plasticizers are categorized into phtalate, trimellitic acid-based, aliphatic dibasic acid-based, and epoxy-based types, to name a few. Here, we introduce our non-phtalate plasticizers.
Japan: phthalate plasticizers production volume 2025 | Statista
The production quantity of phthalate plasticizers in the chemical industry in Japan increased by 25.6 thousand tons (+14.79%) in 2025 in comparison to the previous year.
Plasticizers & Processing Aids - HM Royal
Plasticizers, process oils, internal lubricants and other chemical additives are used to improve and enhance the compound processing characteristics of rubbers and plastics. Processing aids can act as softeners, extenders, lubricants, stabilizers, and strengtheners, depending on the needs of the manufacturer.
Plasticizers – Benefits, Trends, Health, and Environmental
Plasticizers are colorless and odorless esters, mainly phthalates, that increase the elasticity of a material (e.g., polyvinylchloride (PVC)). Plasticizers soften the PVC to make it flexible and bendable. This opens up a huge range of possibilities for new applications.

- What are plasticizers?
- Plasticizers are additives that increase the flexibility or workability of the material that they are added to.
- What are the different types of softeners & plasticizers?
- Softeners or plasticizers are divided into non-solvent type and solvent type . The vulcanized rubber plasticized by the non-solvent softener is full of resilience, but will migrate to the surface of the product when the amount exceeds the appropriate amount.
- What is the difference between plasticizers and softeners?
- There is generally no obvious distinction between plasticizers and softeners, process oils, extenders, etc. Polymers that can be formulated with plasticizers include polyvinyl chloride resin, vinyl acetate resin, polyvinyl acetal, polyvinyl formal, nitrocellulose, acetyl cellulose, synthetic rubber, and the like.
- How can plasticizers be used to make polymers soft and flexible?
- By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature. Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types.
- What are natural product type plasticizers?
- Vegetable oil derivatives are the most widely used natural product type plasticizers. Products consisting of triglyceride esters of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil) in which the double bonds in the fatty acid residues have typically been epoxidized have been commercial products for decades.
- What are plasticizers made of?
- Almost all plasticizers are compounds, generally referred to as ester, which are synthesized from acids and alcohol and mainly used to soften plastics such as vinyl chloride (VC). The acids include phthalic acid, trimellitic acid and adipic acid. The alcohol used includes octanol, nonanol and mixed higher alcohol.
