Guide to Non-Toxic Vinyl Plank Flooring (& the Risks)
Guide to Non-Toxic Vinyl Plank Flooring (& the Risks) July 21, 2025 by Corinne 123 Comments. Vinyl Plank, Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP), and Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) are very low in volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and offgassing. Most people find it odorless, but those like me with a high sense of smell can pick up a little bit of offgassing.
Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
The results illustrated that, compared with DOP/ THEIC-MR-phosphate plasticized PVC material, THEIC-MR-phosphate plasticized PVC material has better thermal stability in the temperature range of 300–500 °C. THEIC-MR-phosphate plays a flame-retardant effect by forming a protective layer of carbon slag when the PVC material burns. Scheme 2
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate
It is a non- phthalate plasticizer, being the diester of terephthalic acid and the branched-chain 2-ethylhexanol, which is referred to as octyl. This colorless viscous liquid is used for softening PVC plastics and is known for chemical similarity to general purpose phthalates such as DEHP and DINP, but without any negative regulatory pressure.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
It is almost colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is very slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. while miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers used in PVC compounding. Melting point: 43°C (45°F; 230 K) Boiling point: 244-252°C at 0.7 kPa.
Plasticizers - BASF Aerospace Materials and Technologies
Palatinol DPHP plasticizer is a high molecular weight, regulatory compliant phthalate plasticizer that is safe for use based on its physical and toxicological properties. Hexamoll DINCH nonphthalate plasticizer was especially developed for sensitive applications.
- What is DOTP plasticizer?
- It is widely used in various products that require heat resistance and high insulation. It is an ideal plasticizer for producing 70 PVC cable material and other volatile resistant products. 2.DOTP is used for the PVC products in the car, which can solve the fog problem of the glass window.
- What is DOTP used for?
- DOTP is the plasticizer of choice for high-temperature resistant cables (e.g., 70°C class cables), and is widely used as a sheathing material for power transmission and communication cables due to its low volatility and high electrical insulation properties.
- Does DOTP contain phthalates?
- DOTP does not contain phthalates, in line with the EU REACH and other international regulations on the restriction of hazardous substances, safer for human beings and the environment, especially for food packaging, medical devices and other sensitive areas.
