Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Cost: Phthalates which have been used as PVC plasticizers since the earliest days of flexible PVC are both inexpensive and effective. The collapse of oil prices which began in 2015 has further reduced the price of petrochemicals, including phthalate esters.
Eastman Plasticizers for PVC
Food Contact Status compliant – Eastman DOP plasticizer (Bis (2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate) is a light colored, low volatility, odorless liquid. It is the most widely used all-purpose plasticizer offered by Eastman for use with PVC resins. It features good stability to heat and ultraviolet light, a broad range of compatibility, and excellent
Alternatives to LMW Phthalate Plasticizers for PVC: Selection
Paul Daniels will discuss different types of plasticizers (vegetable oil derivates, citrate esters, benzoate/dibenzoate esters…) and how to find the right alternatives that are most compatible with your PVC formulation.

Bio-Based Plasticizers for Polyvinylchloride (PVC) | SpringerLink
Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic polymer showing low cost and excellent general properties [ 1 ]. PVC is one of the six most commonly used plastics (PE, PP, PS, PVC, PET, and PUR) accounted for 80.2% of the overall demand [ 2 ]. Global polyvinylchloride (PVC) market size was estimated at over 38 million tons in 2015 and is likely to

To provide mechanical properties, K value of PVC resins selected is K-70. Plasticizers: Choice of plasticizer in plastisol and hot melt processing flexible packaging (lamination) has major...
- 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 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.
- 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 are plasticizers classified?
- Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types. 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.
- What are plasticizers & modifiers?
- Plasticizers and Modifiers are part of the Polymer Additive Business Unit and comprise of a wide range of high-quality products under the brand names Mesamoll ®, Adimoll ®, Unimoll ®, Ultramoll ®, K-FLEX ®, Vitroflex ®, Modulast ®, Uniplex ®, Triacetin, Acetine, and Baymod®.
