Dibenzoate Plasticizers Offer a Safer, Viable Solution to
Unlike some newer alternatives, such as diisononyl cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH), dibenzoate plasticizers have a proven track record of performing safely and reliably. They have been in use for a variety of applications worldwide for more than 40 years.
Benzoate plasticizer for flexible PVC injection moulded toy
For example, low toxicity and high rates of biodegradation were reported for a blend of dibenzoate plasticizers, Benzoflex 2888, consisting of diethylene glycol dibenzoate (D (EG)DB), triethylene glycol dibenzoate, and dipropylene glycol dibenzoate (D (PG)DB) [22,23]. In response to such findings, dibenzoates have been approved by the

Mechanisms of biodegradation of dibenzoate plasticizers
Biodegradation mechanisms were elucidated for three dibenzoate plasticizers: diethylene glycol dibenzoate (D(EG)DB), dipropylene glycol dibenzoate (D(PG)DB), both of which are commercially available, and 1,6-hexanediol dibenzoate, a potential green plasticizer.
- Who makes dibenzoate plasticizers?
- Velsicol is a world-renowned manufacturer of dibenzoate plasticizers and first introduced them in the 1950’s throughout the globe. Velsicol played a key role, as a dibenzoate supplier, in the conversion of phthalate plasticizers to non-phthalate plasticizers.
- What is dipropylene glycol dibenzoate?
- It is a high-solvating plasticizer containing mostly dipropylene glycol dibenzoate. It is used in a wide variety of applications, including caulk, adhesives, resilient flooring, PVC-coated fabrics and artificial-leather cloth. In PVC, it acts as a medium- viscosity high solvator that saves energy and improves process ability.
- Which plasticizer is a good substitute for solvating phthalates?
- It is a non-phthalate, Benzoate plasticizer and is a good substitute for solvating phthalates like DBP and BBP. It is a polar plasticizer that is a high solvated for PVC applications. It exhibits resistance to staining and extraction, and minimal discoloration.
- What are benzoates plasticizers?
- Benzoates plasticizers are in general fast fusing plasticisers offering complemetary performances to general purpose plasticizers. They are used mostly in flooring, wall coverings, automotive – specifically in radiators of the cars – adhesive and sealants, inks and waxes, film and sheet products.
- What is the best phthalate-free plasticizer?
- As there is an increasing demand for phthalate-free plasticizers, Benzoate plasticizers offer the best alternative by providing similar benefits in their applications. NK-131 is a specialty plasticizer that is used as an alternative for Diisobutyl Phthalate (DIBP), Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) and Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP).
- What is a polyurethane plasticizer?
- Plasticizers for polyurethanes are especially designed to have low moisture and a low hydroxyl number to enhance the consistency of the final polyurethane piece or coating. The end result yields higher quality and more reproducible final products.
