New Plasticizers based on Alternative Raw Materials
BASF – Plasticizers – Toys A long-standing and fruitful relationship Plasticizers are used to make plastic softer and more flexible. There has been a need for plasticizers ever since PVC (polyvinyl chloride) was patented in 1913. In its unmodified state, PVC is rigid and brittle.
