Professional R&D and excellent quality plasticizer chemicals

Plasticizers. Plasticizers and polymer additives are widely used to improve the manufacture and performance of materials in desired end products. In some countries certain plasticizers, mainly phthalates, are banned, as these substances are suspected of causing a wide range of health issues. Agilent provides plasticizer analytical standards to

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 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:

Plastic additives are used in a wide variety of applications, including vinyl, blow-molding bottles, film, rigid containers, PVC plastics, siding, decks and rails, foam pipes and profile formulations, window frames and high-efficiency lubricants.

During the manufacturing of polymeric materials, such as plastics and rubbers, a number of chemical additives are added to inhibit or retard their degradation or to achieve better product quality. Heat stabilizers, antioxidant, UV absorber, plasticizers and lubricants are the most commonly seen and widely used additives.
