Plasticizers
BASF is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of plasticizers. BASF offers a broad product portfolio of plasticizers for standard as well as special applications, such as toys and medical devices. Plasticizers give flexibility to PVC products such as cables or films.
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.

Plasticizer product range for a sustainable business
BASF plasticizers: functional, versatile and safe PLASTOMOLL PALATINOLN PALAMOLL PALATINOL10-P 5 HexamollDINCH This trusted non-phthalate plasticizer for high safety and quality standards is recommended whenever people come into close contact with PVC products that contain plasticizers.
Polymeric Plasticizers
Polymer plasticizers or polyadipates are polyesters of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. BASF manufactures and markets the following polymer plasticizers for special applications:
- 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.
- Why did BASF start a plasticizer project?
- Already in 1998, BASF started a research project for an alternative plasticizer with a better toxicological profile than the then common phthalates. The target was making it suitable for use in products that come into close contact with humans.

- 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.
