Effective, Environmentally Friendly PVC Plasticizers Based on
Succinate esters are promising PVC environmentally friendly plasticizers that can replace toxic phthalate plasticizers. They are not only less toxic than phthalate plasticizers but also show better resistance to plasticizer migration from the polymer matrix. Elsiwi et al. [47] synthesized di-n-heptyl succinate from renewable feedstocks and
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers) POLYCIZER, MONOCIZER Functional Products Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well.
Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non
Background European chemicals management aims to protect human health and the environment from legacy and emerging contaminants. The plasticizer market changed in response to the restriction of low molecular weight (LMW) phthalate plasticizers such as Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) due to their hazardous properties. We investigated patterns and trends of 19 regulated and emerging
Effective, Environmentally Friendly PVC Plasticizers
Four environmentally friendly plasticizer samples were obtained; their chemical structures and compositions were confirmed by gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR) analyses,...

- What are non phthalate plasticizers?
- DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate plasticizers are shown below.
- Are DIC plasticizers phthalate based?
- DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals, food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Polycizer W-230-H and W-1430-EL, polyester-based plasticizers developed by DIC as a replacement for phthalate plasticizers, have the features shown below.
- Are plasticizers environmentally friendly?
- Four environmentally friendly plasticizer samples were obtained; their chemical structures and compositions were confirmed by gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR) analyses, and their physicochemical properties and thermal stability (TGA analysis) were investigated.
- Are plasticizers safe?
- Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well. DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys.
- Can phthalic plasticizers be used in PVC products?
- Therefore, the EU REACH Act prohibits the use of phthalic plasticizers in PVC products, such as children’s toys, food packaging or medical devices, which limits the growth of this type of plasticizer market [ 12, 13 ]. The use of non-toxic and biodegradable alternatives to replace phthalates has become an inevitable trend [ 14, 15 ].
- Are phthalate plasticizers toxic?
- Unfortunately, phthalates are compounds that migrate easily from the polymer matrix, have toxic effects on human health, and are hazardous to the environment [ 7, 9 ]. Scientific studies have shown that phthalate plasticizers can increase the incidence of asthma, bronchitis, and cancer [ 10, 11 ].
