Plasticizers for the PVC industry are now also available
These materials are derived from organic waste or vegetable oils. Biomass balanced plasticizers have a lower carbon footprint than the conventional ones and help save fossil resources. Both, BASF’s mass balance approach and BMB plasticizers are certified according to REDcert 2. Ccycled TM plasticizer based on chemically recycled feedstock
Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
Published May 2025. Flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) accounts for 80–90% of global plasticizer consumption. Flexible PVC (and thus plasticizers) is found in the following applications: construction (flooring, wall coverings), electrical (wire and cable jacketing), consumer goods (toys, footwear, etc.), packaging, transportation (inside and outside of vehicles), furnishings, and medical uses

Santicizer 278 is a fast fusing, benzyl phthalate plasticizer designed for use in multiple polymer systems and applications. This plasticizer is a high molecular weight alkyl benzyl phthalate that has compatibility in many polymer types, particularly in PVC. Santicizer 278 is extremely permanent.
- Why should you use a fast-fusing plasticizer?
- Our fast-fusing plasticizers have excellent solvating properties that enable fast processing of vinyl compositions. They act as efficient fusers, resulting in lower processing temperatures and reduced volatility. Combining the right general-purpose and fast-fusing plasticizer can also optimize the plastisol’s rheology and flow.
- Which plasticizers are best for PVC plastisol?
- Consider Eastman’s proven plasticizers for your next PVC plastisol. Our portfolio includes general-purpose plasticizers and fast fusers. Our fast-fusing plasticizers have excellent solvating properties that enable fast processing of vinyl compositions. They act as efficient fusers, resulting in lower processing temperatures and reduced volatility.
- How can plasticizers be used to make polymers soft and flexible?
- By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature. Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types.
- How to choose a plasticizer?
- The choice of the plasticizer is dependent on the requirements that have to be met for the final product and the conditions around that product’s use. This may include low volatility, high permanence, low temperature flexibility, flame retardancy, high thermal stability and saponification resistance.
- Why should you use a plasticizer in a Pur formulation?
- SPUR formulations offer fast room-temperature cure and good durability when compared to a standard polyurethane system. Generally, a plasticizer is used in a SPUR formulation because of the need for specific properties the plasticizer can provide that the formulator is not able to reach on its own.
- What types of plasticizers are compatible with santicizer® 160?
- This plasticizer has compatibility with many polymer types, particularly PVC. Santicizer® 160 can be used as a primary plasticizer or is often blended with general-purpose plasticizers to offer faster fusion and better plasticizing efficiency.
