- Why should you use BASF plasticizers?
- In a wide variety of applications, BASF’s plasticizers help make numerous products flexible. At the same time, they ensure reliable protection against bad weather and extreme temperatures, helping the products to last longer, function better and maintain their value. When stability meets flexibility, it’s because at BASF, we create chemistry.
- What types of plasticizers does BASF manufacture?
- BASF also produces specialty plasticizers, such as linear phthalates, trimellitates, such as Palatinol TOTM, adipates, and polymeric plasticizers in order to meet customer requirements, such as high or low temperature performance and low migration. Sustainable solutions for PVC, adhesive and other aerospace applications
- What are plasticizers used for?
- Plasticizers are used in many different applications, including films, insulation for cables and ducts, coatings, flooring, hoses and profiles. They are also an essential part of sensitive applications such as toys, medical products, sports and leisure equipment as well as food packaging.
- What feedstocks does BASF use?
- BASF now offers part of its plasticizer portfolio based on circular feedstocks. For this purpose, either renewable or chemically recycled feedstock is used at the beginning of the value chain instead of fossil resources. The alternative feedstock is allocated to the sales products according to a mass balance approach.
- What are bio-based plasticizers?
- As the name says, biobased plasticizers are majorly based on: Few more plasticizers are based on renewably sourced isosorbides and alkanoic acids. Isosorbide diesters are a non-toxic alternative to phthalates. They offer promising properties to PVC. Being naturally/renewable sourced, bio-based plasticizers are sometimes easily approved for:
- Why is plasticization important?
- Plasticization is the process of making the final plastic product more flexible. By incorporating the right type and amount of plasticizer you can tweak your formulation. Hence, selecting the right plasticizer for a specific application is very critical to make the product softer. Plasticization can occur both internally and externally.
