Professional R&D and excellent quality plasticizer chemicals

The plasticizing performance of EOLs in PVC was tested and compared with those of commercial environmental plasticizers acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) and di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (DOTP). According to the results of tensile tests, the elongation at break of PVC plasticized by 50 phr EOLs reached 725.5%, indicating its superior mechanical

The current research efforts in the plasticizer industry should focus on finding renewable biomass chemical feedstocks to synthesize non-toxic and effective bio-based plasticizers in order to adapt to the concept of green environmental protection given the scarcity of petroleum resources and the growing emph

The use of alternative plasticizers with low toxicity and good compatibility with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has become more attractive in the recent years in contrast with the phthalate derivatives. In this study, an additive derived from castor oil (methyl acetyl ricinoleate—MAR) was tested as a plasticizer for PVC. MAR was added to PVC in a range of 50–90 PHR and the increase of the

eco-friendliness and purity and it is obtained by the trans-esterification of castor oil, followed by methylation and acetylation of ricinoleic acid (see Fig. 1) [18, 19]. In fact, the use of MAR as plasticizer has been patent [20, 21] and used in food packaging, plastic film plasticizers or as rub-

The plasticizers used in this study were synthesized from renewable raw materials using succinic acid, oleic acid, and propylene glycol. Four environmentally friendly plasticizer samples were obtained; their chemical structures and compositions were confirmed by gas chromatography (GC) and infrared
