Plasticizers – Benefits, Trends, Health, and Environmental Issues
Plasticizers soften the PVC to make it flexible and bendable. This opens up a huge range of possibilities for new applications. One of the main benefits of plasticizers is the durability they confer onto PVC applications, which can ensure high performances for up to 50 years.
Plasticizers and the CPSIA - U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
Commercial Plasticizers Adipates (0.17 MT) Epoxy (0.14 MT) Other (0.17 MT) Benzoates Trimellitates (0.05 MT) (0.13 MT) Phthalates (5.4 MT) Phthalates – 90% (5.4 MT) of global plasticizer demand – Used to make PVC plastic soft and flexible – Most common plasticizer due to excellent balance of cost and performance
A highly stable bio-based plasticizer constructed from renewable acids
The current research efforts in the plasticizer industry should focus on finding renewable biomass chemical feedstocks to synthesize non-toxic and effective bio-based plasticizers in order to adapt to the concept of green environmental protection given the scarcity of petroleum resources and the growing emph

- Why are plasticizers added to ca?
- Plasticizers are added to CA to increase workability, prevent degradation under processing conditions and ensure thermo-mechanical properties suitable for the intended final application. Moreover, inexpensive and non-toxic solvents enable its processing into fibers, films, and solid blocks.
- Can cyclohexane-1-dicarboxylic acid be used as a plasticizer?
- Short-chain alkyl esters of cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid can serve as plasticizers and also as solvents with good affinity with many active ingredients and strong dissolution uniformity. Animal tests indicate that cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate esters do not induce peroxisome proliferation or liver tumor.
- Which citrate esters are used as plasticizers in ca?
- Other citrate esters reported as plasticizers in CA are tributyl citrate (TBC) and acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) , . When ATBC was used in CA, white and opaque films were obtained by casting. Further DSC analysis demonstrated the presence of a crystalline peak.
- Does DOP plasticizer percentage affect limiting oxygen index and thermal stability?
- The effect of DOP plasticizer percentage on limiting oxygen index and thermal stability of plasticised PVC was investigated in this paper. DOP was added PVC with various quantities (20, 30, and 50) pphr. LOI and thermal stability instruments used for estimating LOI and thermal stability of plasticised PVC as a function to DOP percentage.
- Which plasticizer has a good plasticizing efficiency?
- Both plasticizers provided a satisfactory plasticizing efficiency, such as DEP, due to their low viscosity and ease of diffusion into CA, which enables a large processing window and increases the material's flexibility. CA with 30 wt% GTA displayed a slightly higher elastic modulus than CA with 30 wt% GDA (E = 2.1 GPa and 1.9 GPa, respectively).
