Plasticizers: POLYSORB ID, plant-based solutions
POLYSORB ID - isosorbide diester. POLYSORB ID can be used to make diesters obtained from esterification of isosorbide with plant-based fatty acids. It offers outstanding compatibility and processability with PVC resins. Due to its great efficiency, it can be considered as an alternative of choice to standard petrochemical-based plasticizers.

Bio-Based, Phthalate-Free Polyvinyl Chloride Plasticizer
A phthalate-free PVC plasticizer based on vegetable oils can be manufactured using a single reactor synthesis which drastically lowers complexity. Due to the low price of the feedstock, the plasticizer can be manufactured at the same price with similar performance compared to the most commonly used, banned phthalate, dioctyl pthalate.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Bio-based Plasticizers – They are based on epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO), epoxidized linseed oil (ELO), castor oil, palm oil, other vegetable oils, starches, sugars etc. Others – Includes Phosphates, Chlorinated Paraffins, Alkyl Sulfonic Acid Esters and more When added to polymer, these plasticizers provide several benefits as listed below.
- What are natural based plasticizers?
- Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the use of natural-based plasticizers that are characterized by low toxicity and low migration. This group includes epoxidized triglyceride vegetable oils from soybean oil, linseed oil, castor-oil, sunflower oil, and fatty acid esters (FAEs) .
- What is a bio-based plasticizer?
- The most common bio-based plasticizer is epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) [24, 25, 84, 85], which is also used as a heat stabilizer in PVC blends because of its ability to scavenge HCl molecules released during heating and is responsible for the propagation of thermal degradation of the polymer .
- Are bio-based plasticizers a good idea?
- Given all these attributes, combined with the overall environmental upside, bio-based plasticizers are revolutionizing how everyday items, like flooring, clothing, wires, cables, sporting goods, toys, construction materials and more are being made.
- What are biodegradable plasticizers?
- Biodegradable plasticizers such as soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) were added to poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties. TEC or DBP presented better plasticizing effects than SO and ESO for PHBV .
- 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).
