Designing Green Plasticizers: Linear Alkyl Diol Dibenzoate
Abstract. Several linear alkyl diol dibenzoate compounds, ranging from C3 to C6 in central diol length, were evaluated for their plasticizing effectiveness in blends with poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC). The results were compared to blends of PVC/di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the most commonly used commercial plasticizer.

- Are alkyl diol dibenzoate compounds effective in plasticizing PVC?
- The effectiveness of the tested alkyl diol dibenzoate compounds was assessed as a combination of the various reported material properties. Of the four compounds tested in this study, 1,3-PrDB, 1,5-PDB, and 1,6-HDB (Figure 2) proved to be as effective in plasticizing PVC as the widely- and commercially-used plasticizer DEHP in blends at 40 phr.
- Is dibenzoate plasticizer effective in poly (vinyl chloride)?
- 4.1. Dibenzoate Plasticizer Effectiveness in Poly (Vinyl Chloride) The effectiveness of the tested alkyl diol dibenzoate compounds was assessed as a combination of the various reported material properties.
- Are diol dibenzoates safe?
- The results were compared to blends of PVC/di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the most commonly used commercial plasticizer. DEHP has come under scrutiny, due to its suspected endocrine-disrupting behaviour, and the proposed diol dibenzoates have previously been shown to have the potential to be green, safe candidates for DEHP replacement.
- What is a dibenzoate plasticizer?
- While several commercial dibenzoate plasticizers, such as diethylene glycol dibenzoate (DEGDB) and dipropylene glycol dibenzoate (DPGDB; see Figure 2), are sold commercially [18, 19], these compounds generally contain ether linkages in their central linker connecting the two benzoate moieties.
- Could diol dibenzoate replace phthalates?
- Further, the proposed diol dibenzoate compounds could be good green candidates to replace phthalates, given previous work that identified their rapid biodegradation by soil bacteria [21, 24, 30].
- Is 1 4 BDB a green plasticizer?
- It should be noted that another positive aspect of 1,4-BDB is that the central diol linker can be produced renewably by microbial fermentation, or by reducing microbially-produced succinic acid , thereby lending to its character as a green plasticizer.
