Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation Paul Daniels Comprehensive Guide on Plasticizers Plasticizers are most widely used additives in plastics. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer by decreasing the viscosity of the polymer melt.
Handbook of Plasticizers - 2nd Edition - Elsevier
Plasticizers are used in so many products that every library should have this reference source of information on plasticizers readily available for its readers. This book should be used in conjunction with Plasticizer Database, which gives information on the present status and properties of industrial and research plasticizers.
Phthalates in Food Packaging and Food Contact Applications
The FDA revoked authorizations for the food contact use of 23 phthalates and two other substances used as plasticizers, adhesives, defoaming agents, lubricants, resins, and slimicides.
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. One of the main benefits of plasticizers is the durability they confer onto
- How are plasticizers classified?
- Plasticizers are classified based on their chemical composition. It is important to understand the influence of structural elements on the properties of plasticizers and their effect on base polymers. For example, the presence of elements like alcohols in a homologous series of phthalates, and adipates.
- What polymers use plasticizers?
- Approximately 90% of these plasticizers are used in the production of plasticized or flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. Other polymer systems that use small amounts of plasticizers include polyvinyl butyral (PVB), acrylic polymers, poly (vinylidene chloride), nylon, polyolefins, polyurethanes, and certain fluoroplastics.
- What is a plasticizer chemistry?
- Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
- What is plasticizer selection?
- Plasticizer selection involves trying to meet a combination of end-use performance requirements, processing needs, cost, and in some cases, specific regulatory requirements. Products produced from flexible PVC are used in a wide range of applications and industry market segments.
- What is a primary plasticizer?
- A primary plasticizer enhances elongation, softness and flexibility of polymer. They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear.
- Which plasticizer is most commonly used?
- : Phthalates are the most commonly used plasticizers due to their high efficiency and low cost. : Widely used in flexible PVC applications like cables, flooring, and medical devices. Concerns: Environmental and health concerns have led to restrictions and reduced use, especially in sensitive applications.
