Professional R&D and excellent quality plasticizer chemicals

Introducing IrgaCycle: Additive solution innovations for mechanical recycling The plastics industry has a strong mandate to increase sustainability, reduce waste, re-introduce recyclate and enable circularity. As a leading global producer of plastic additives, BASF takes this goal very seriously and is working on a wide range of solutions to advance the circular economy of polymeric

Plasticizers. Plasticizers ensure elasticity and flexibility of polymer materials. But this is not their only benefit. Plasticizers also optimize, for example, the processing properties of polymer materials, which leads to improved product quality or even new properties. The choice of plasticizers depends on the demand placed on the finished

With more than 3,800 colleagues and an extensive network of 60+ laboratories and research centers, our global reach is built upon a regional focus on creating formulations that meet specific local demands.

Plasticizers are among the most widely used additives in the plastic industry. They are also usually cheaper than other additives used in polymer processing. Plasticizers are most often used in PVC, the third largest polymer by volume after PP and PE. In turn, PVC is used in a wide range of products. Examples include:

Polymeric Plasticizers Compatible with a variety of polymers Low migration and low volatility Multiple products with food contact approvals Viscosity ranges from 650-67,000 mPas at 20°C High permanence and weatherability Customized solutions available Monomeric Plasticizers Compatible with a variety of polymers Low migration and low volatility
