Eastman PVC Plasticizers for Use in Wire & Cable Insulation
Eastman TOTM plasticizer (Tris (2-Ethylhexyl) Trimellitate) is the ideal PVC plasticizer for use in applications where low volatility is of supreme importance, such as wire and cable insulation and interior automotive. It also has properties that are required for dishwasher gaskets and photograph storage.
Dow launches phthalate-free, bio-based plasticizers for wire
The eco-friendly membrane with highest conductivity contributes good cycling properties and possesses higher value of cationic transference number when compared with other electrolyte samples. A lithium ion conducting battery constructed using the highly conducting polymer membrane sample is used to light up the red LED, display an Open Circuit
Plasticizers – Benefits, Trends, Health, and Environmental
Plasticizers soften the PVC to make it flexible and bendable. This opens up a huge range of possibilities for new applications. One of the main benefits of plasticizers is the durability they confer onto PVC applications, which can ensure high performances for up to 50 years.

Jayflex DTDP plasticizer is the highest-molecular-weight phthalate plasticizer, providing greater performance at high temperatures. It is the preferred plasticizer for automotive cable applications and THHN/NMB electrical wire insulation. Learn more.
Plasticizer migration from PVC cable insulation – The
The brown single strand PVC-P insulations with the metal conductor included in pieces of jacketed PVC-P cable (type RKKR 16 × 0.25 mm 2) containing 16 single strand insulations each with a metal conductor were studied. The cable samples had been operating in a nuclear power plant for 30 years at 25 ± 3 °C.
- What is nonmigrating highly plasticized PVC?
- Nonmigrating highly plasticized PVC was prepared based on a new compound that acts as a plasticizer that was derived from di (2-ethylhexyl) 4-hydrophthalate and chlorinated paraffin-52. The as-prepared PVC has a plasticizing efficiency as high as DOP and its migration is totally suppressed.
- Which plasticizer has a strong migration resistance?
- Hyperbranched plasticizer has strong migration resistance due to its unique structure. Lactic acid-based plasticizers are a very cutting-edge direction that requires more research and development. These bio-based plasticizers can give PVC materials excellent thermal and mechanical properties under the premise of resistance to migration.
- What is plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been widely used in the world. Petroleum-based plasticizers especially phthalates have been the most common plasticizers used in PVC. However, the global petroleum resources are becoming scarce gradually, and the hygienic requirements for plasticizers are increasing.
- Do plasticizers migrate?
- To observe the migration of plasticizers, the migration behaviour of the new DOP-like plasticizer in PVC was tested through extraction experiments with n-heptane at room temperature 35. As a comparison, migration of DOP was also measured under the same conditions.
- Is poly (vinyl chloride) plasticized with a soybean-oil based plasticizer flame retardant?
- Jia P, Zhang M, Hu L, Zhou J, Feng G, Zhou Y (2015) Thermal degradation behavior and flame retardant mechanism of poly (vinyl chloride) plasticized with a soybean-oil-based plasticizer containing phosphaphenanthrene groups.
- What happens when a plasticizer migrates from PVC-P to a surrounding medium?
- Migration of the plasticizer from PVC-P to a surrounding medium leads to anincrease in the Young's modulus and a decrease in the strain at break . Migration includes two separate processes; diffusion of the plasticizer within the polymeric material and plasticizer transport from the polymeric material boundary to the surrounding medium.
