Bio-Based Plasticizers Stretch Production Capability
Bio-based plasticizers are leading the way in this manufacturing evolution given its unique properties that allow for less material needed to meet performance goals, faster fusion, better heat stability, requiring less stabilizers, and many other key performance indicators.
Eastman Product List for General Purpose Plasticizers
Eastman plasticizers have served as highly effective non-phthalate replacements for other general-purpose plasticizers, such as DOP/DEHP and DINP. Our solutions add value to formulations by adding excellent viscosity stability, low-temperature resistance, and nonmigratory properties.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Due to its low cost and generally good performance, DEHP is widely employed as a plasticizer in manufacturing articles made of PVC. Melting point: 50°C Boiling point: 250 - 257°C at 0.5 kPa Structure of DEHP DEHP offers good gelling, satisfactory electrical properties and helps to produce highly elastic compounds with reasonable cold strength.

Uses of Phthalates and Other Plasticizers - U.S. Consumer
– Plasticizers are poor solvents for the polymer – Plasticizers are have low volatility – Plasticizers will lose the ability to improve flex ibility if the plasticizer is chemically attached to the polymer – For phthalate esters, the plasticizer range extend s from esters prepared from C4 alcohols to C13 alcohols.
- Do you need a reliable plasticizer manufacturer?
- From homes and cars to the office and children's toys, plasticizers are in countless products. They enhance product flexibility and performance, providing added value. However, when it comes to your application, you need more than just any plasticizer. You need a reliable plasticizer manufacturer.
- 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.
- What are the benefits of Eastman plasticizers?
- Eastman’s plasticizers provide important benefits, including good fusion profiles, low-temperature flexibility and excellent heat stability, for both general-purpose and specialty applications.
- 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 used for?
- Plasticizers are primarily used in the production of flexible PVC, accounting for around 90% of their applications. They have minor uses in rubber, adhesives, sealants, paints, lacquers, and lubricants. To obtain soft PVC, plasticizers must have the following essential performance properties: Plasticizers are used to make PVC more flexible.
