VESTINOL 9 (Di-isononyl-phthalat) - Evonik Industries
In Europe, VESTINOL 9 is the most important universal plasticizer for PVC and is used in both thermoplastic and plastisol processing applications, demonstrating in both cases an excellent price-performance ratio and a wide range of applications.
Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non
In the study, archived SPM samples from the ESB have been analyzed for 23 plasticizers (17 phthalates and 6 non-phthalates). The samples were collected between 2005 and 2017 at sampling sites in major German rivers, such as the Rhine, Elbe, Danube and tributaries, i.e., Saar, Saale and Mulde.
Trends for plasticizers in German freshwater environments
Plasticizers are marketed in high volumes and Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is frequently detected in the environment and human populations. Industry had largely relied on DEHP until regulation started to restrict its marketing in 1999 due to environmental and human health concerns.

Phthalate based plasticizers, combining the following proper-ties: Low volatility, excellent extraction resistance and a good compatibility with a wide variety of resins. Caprylates Lincol 102 Eigenmann & Veronelli Lincol 102 is a synthetic plasticizer for PVC with anti-static effect, especially suitable for conveyor belts and flooring. It is
Plasticizers – Benefits, Trends, Health, and Environmental
Plasticizers are colorless and odorless esters, mainly phthalates, that increase the elasticity of a material (e.g., polyvinylchloride (PVC)). Plasticizers soften the PVC to make it flexible and bendable. This opens up a huge range of possibilities for new applications.
- What are phthalate plasticizers?
- From a chemical point of view, phthalate plasticizers come from an esterification reaction between phthalic anhydride and an alcohol with specific characteristics. Phthalates are the most used molecules in many sectors of industrial production.
- Which phthalate is the dominant plasticizer in house dust?
- HMW phthalates increased from 19% of the ∑plasticizer concentration to 46% between the mid-2000s and the late 2010s in house dust, and from 50% to 63% in SPM samples. Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) replaced DEHP as the dominant plasticizer in both compartments.
- Which phthalates dominate the plasticizer market?
- Chemical management varies considerably between regions and on a global scale. DEHP still dominates the plasticizer market . Therefore, target analytes were often restricted to DEHP and other LMW phthalates. House dust samples in China, for example, were strongly dominated by DEHP and DBP .
- Are HMW phthalates a good plasticizer?
- However, HMW phthalates already constituted a comparatively strong proportion in the mid-2000s. In general, plasticizers with low volatility and migration rate are more suitable for stressed outdoor applications with respect to hydrolysis, leaching and microbial degradation [72, 116].
- Why are phthalate plasticizers banned in the EU?
- The use of some phthalate plasticizers has been successively restricted in the EU since the late 1990s due to their endocrine disrupting (ED) properties, especially in sensitive applications for humans, such as baby products, children's toys, cosmetics and food packaging [31, 33, 34, 35].
- Which non-phthalates are used in plasticizers?
- Furthermore, the demand for alternative plasticizers is increasing. Today, the most frequently used non-phthalates are adipates, terephthalates (main representative DEHT) and Diisononyl 1, 2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (DINCH) . The monitoring programs used in this study covered a total of 26 analytes.
