Synthesis and properties of castor oil based plasticizers
Considering the direct and indirect threat of phthalate plasticizers for human health as well as the environment, 1–3 dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) is gradually replacing DOP as the main plasticizer in PVC. However, DOTP is still produced from petrochemical resources, hence finding cheap, environmentally friendly, and renewable alternative raw
A Strategy for Nonmigrating Highly Plasticized PVC - Nature
The plasticized PVC specimens with different amounts of plasticizer (DOP or DOP-O-CP52) were prepared. PVC powder and plasticizer were dissolved in THF, and THF was evaporated to obtain a...
Synthesis and application of a novel environmental C26
The castor oil-based plasticizer was found to endow the PVC matrix with enhanced compatibility and flexibility. With partially or completely substituted DOP, C26-DGE significantly increased the thermal stability of PVC blends. Furthermore, the volatility and extraction resistance of the novel plasticizers were generally superior to those of DOP.
Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Soybean oil-based plasticizers Soybean oil (SO) is a renewable, inexpensive and common agricultural resource, with unique molecular structure, containing three ester groups, five double bonds and long alkyl chains.
Databook of Plasticizers - 2nd Edition
Description. Databook of Plasticizers, Second Edition, contains data on the most important plasticizers in use today, including over 375 generic and commercial plasticizers. The data comes from a range of sources beyond plasticizers' manufacturers, allowing for a detailed comparison of properties between different plasticizers.
- Why are plasticizers still produced in Iran?
- Abstract—Iran is one of the main producers and consumers of plasticizers in the Middle East and Asia, but due to imposed sanctions, unfortunately Iran was deprived from the research and development in this industry. As a result, this has caused continuing the production of harmful plasticizers in Iran.
- What is DOP plasticizer?
- DOP (Di-Octyl Phthalate) plasticizer is one of the most widely used plasticizers in the world, finding applications across various industries such as automotive, construction, packaging, and more. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of DOP plasticizer, including its properties, applications, and environmental considerations.
- Is DOP plasticizer harmful?
- Despite its widespread use, DOP plasticizer has raised concerns regarding its environmental impact and potential health risks. Phthalates, including DOP, have been associated with various adverse health effects, including endocrine disruption and reproductive toxicity.
