Current Status of Plasticizer Research | SpringerLink
In PVC gloves produced in earlier times, phthalate plasticizers were used by 80% among the overall plasticizers, including DOP, DBP, DIBP, BBP, DINP, etc. DOP is called an all-round plasticizer because of its advantages of high plasticization performance, good PVC compatibility, low exudation, low volatility, softness, high brightness, etc.

Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Most common plasticiser chemistries include citrates, benzoates, ortho-phthalates, terephthalates, adipates, azelates, sebacates, and trimellitates. Plasticizers are the most common additives used in the plastics industry. But, selecting the right plasticizer for an application has always been a daunting task.
Pevalen - Perstorp
Pevalen has excellent processing properties, high plasticizing efficiency, exceptional UV resistance, low volatility and smoke and is made in a way that reduces the use of finite raw materials. Pevalen is the perfect choice for flexible PVC applications such as Coated fabrics, PVC plastisol, and flexible film. Betty Lu VP Oxo chemicals
Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
By far, the largest application of plasticizers is as a flexibilizing additive in plastic products such as food packaging, wire and cable insulation and medical devices. In these markets plasticizers are mainly used with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), but many other rigid polymers are plasticized for practical use.
- What are petroleum based plasticizers?
- The petroleum–based plasticizers include; dioctyl phthalate (DOP), dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), diallyl phthalate (DAP), buytlbenzene phthalate (BBP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), etc. Table 1 gives the list of some common phthalates used in the plastic industry and Figure 1 gives the chemical structure of some petroleum based plasticizers.
- What are plasticizers used for?
- Over the years, plasticizers have played a major role in the plastic industry as it is used as additives in polymers such as poly (vinyl chloride). Generally, unplasticized PVC has limited ap-plications like pipes, window profiles and siding. This is due to its hard and brittle nature caused by the presence of the Cl-Cl bond.
- Which plasticizer has a strong solvation power?
- The solubility parameter is increased as polarity and/or aromaticity is increased. Examples of plasticizers with strong solvation power are benzoates esters, sulfonates, tricresyl phos-phate (TCP), dihexyl phthalates (DHP), butyl octyl phthalates (BOP), and butyl benzyl phthalates (BBP) (Wikes et al., 2005).
- Are petroleum based plasticizers toxic?
- Petroleum based plasticizers are known to be toxic in nature and can be detrimental to human’s health. For this reason, bioplasticizers have been introduced to the plastic industry due to its low toxicity, leachability, enhanced thermal and mechanical properties and its high compatibility with PVC.
- Can Petroleum plasticizers enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of PVC polymer?
- Additionally, the thermal and mechanical properties of the PVC polymer are enhanced. From the paper review, research works have shown the com-parative effect of applying petroleum plasticizers and bioplasticizers on PVC to enhance the me-chanical and thermal properties of the PVC polymer.
- What are plasticizers in PVC?
- Poly (vinyl chloride), PVC has extensive applications due to the incorporation of plasticizers on it. Plasticizers are known to make PVC polymers flexible, malleable, and easy to process. The paper addresses a general overview of plasticizers which encompasses the definition, types, ex-amples and sources of it.
