Plasticizer < Our Business | OCI
Plasticizers are categorized as phthalate-based, trimellitate-based, phosphoric acid-based and epoxy-based depending on the base material. It is produced by the ester reaction between alcohol such as Octanol (2-EH), INA, etc., and acids such as PA, TPA, TMA, etc. Depending on the base material, different grades of plasticizers are produced.
South Korea Strengthens Phthalates Requirements Under its
In July, 2025, Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) issued Notice Number 2025-131 to strengthen the requirements for phthalates falling under its Common Safety Standard for Children’s Products subject to certification pursuant to Article 17(3) of the Special Act on Children’s product Safety, children’s products subject to confirmation pursuant to Article 22(2), and
Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
Overall, phthalates will continue to exhibit modest growth. For example, DINP will experience growth throughout the world. World consumption of phthalate plasticizers is forecast to grow moderatley during 2025–25. Nonphthalate plasticizers are not based on phthalic acid, and have a different chemical structure and toxicological profile.
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Citrate plasticizers have good miscibility, biodegradable, resistant to leaching and water and have legal use as additives. The demand for bioplasticizers is reported to increase from 887...
Uses of Phthalates and Other Plasticizers - U.S. Consumer
Building wire Very safe for long term use, Low volatility, low conductivity, ease of processing Higher MW plasticizers such as DIDP, DPHP, trimellitates, L911P, L11P, DTDP Low MW phthalates including DEHP, citrates, Cyclohexanoates, natural oil based Wire and Cable- other Safety is always important.
- Are there phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers in the coastal environment of Korea?
- Conclusions This is the first nation-wide survey of phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers in the coastal environment of Korea. Phthalates and alternative plasticizers were detected in all sediment samples from the coastal zone of Korea. DEHP and DEHT were the dominant phthalates and NPPs, respectively.
- Are phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers found in coastal sediment?
- Korea is the world's largest consumer of plastic, with increasing production and consumption ( European Plastics and Rubber Machinery, 2016 ). The present study assesses the occurrence, spatial distribution, and potential contamination sources of phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers in coastal sediment from Korean coastal waters.
- How are phthalates and NPPs distributed along Korea's Coast?
- The spatial distribution of phthalates and NPPs along Korea's coast is governed by harbor-zone activities and sedimentary organic carbon. Significant correlations were observed among the compounds of phthalates and NPPs in sediments, suggesting similar sources and environmental behavior in coastal environments.
- Do phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers pose ecological risk to benthic organisms?
- Given the occurrence of phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers, including DEHP, further studies are required to identify the contamination sources and assess the ecological risk to benthic organisms posed by these contaminants in coastal environments. Fig. 5 Cumulative distribution (%) of DEHP concentrations measured in sediments from.
- Are phthalate plasticizers contaminating the environment?
- DEHA and DEHT were detected in almost all sediment samples (detection rate: 98%), also suggesting major contamination by non-phthalate plasticizers. The occurrence of phthalates in the environment is related to production and consumption in industrial markets ( Gao and Wen, 2016 ).
- Are non-phthalate plasticizers contaminating the coastal environment?
- All NPPs were detectable in all sediment samples, indicating widespread contamination of the coastal environment by these plasticizers. DEHA and DEHT were detected in almost all sediment samples (detection rate: 98%), also suggesting major contamination by non-phthalate plasticizers.
