Plasticizers Derived from Biomass Resources: A Short Review
With rising environmental concerns and depletion of petrochemical resources, biomass-based chemicals have been paid more attention. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plasticizers derived from biomass resources (vegetable oil, cardanol, vegetable fatty acid, glycerol and citric acid) have been widely studied to replace petroleum-based o-phthalate plasticizers. These bio-based plasticizers mainly include
- What are bio-based plasticizers?
- Bio-based plasticizers are materials used in the manufacturing process that have unique properties leading the way in the industry. They allow for less material to meet performance goals, faster fusion, better heat stability, and the need for fewer stabilizers, among other key performance indicators.
- What are bio-based PVC plasticizers?
- Many bio-based PVC plasticizers, such as vegetable oil-based plasticizers, cardanol-based plasticizers, lactic acid-based plasticizers, waste cooking oil-based plasticizers, polyester plasticizers, hyperbranched plasticizers and so on, have been extensively studied.
- Are bio-based plasticizers biodegradable?
- Since bio-based plasticizers originate from renewable resources, they are usually biodegradable. The main disadvantage of these natural materials is their relatively high cost of production, which is significantly higher than for DOP.
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
- Are bio-based plastics more expensive?
- In general, the prices of bio-based plastics are more stable. Even today with low oil prices, PLA prices in the US are very close to market prices of general purpose PS and PET (Vink, 2016). However, if oil prices are high, a commodity plastic like PS is more expensive than PLA (Figure 9).
- Can bio-based plasticizers be made from biomass?
- Broadly speaking, there may be more suitable biomass renewable raw materials that can be used to prepare bio-based plasticizers, which still need to be explored and discovered by researchers in the future.
