Plasticizer
Some common phthalate plasticizers are: Low Molecular Weight Ortho Phthalates Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), used in fragrances, as an insect repellent, and in several industrial processes as a solvent/carrier Diethyl phthalate (DEP), used in fragrances as a carrier and extender/fixative Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Most commonly used phthalate plasticizers include: DEHP: Low molecular weight ortho-phthalate. Still the world’s most widely used PVC plasticizer DINP, DIDP: High molecular weight ortho-phthalates Aliphatic dibasic acid Esters – These include chemicals such as glutarates, adipates, azelates and sebacates.
Plasticizers in Paint & Coatings: Uses, Types and Selection
Good stability to heat and ultraviolet light Broad range of compatibility, and Excellent resistance to hydrolysis Di-iso-octyl phthalate (DIOP) DIOP is like DOP, an all-purpose plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, rubbers, cellulose plastics, and polyurethane. Di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP) & Di-iso-decyl phthalate (DIDP)
France - Market Overview - International Trade Administration
France has a stable business climate that attracts investors from around the world. The French government devotes significant resources to attracting foreign investment through policy incentives, marketing, overseas trade promotion offices, and investor support mechanisms.
France: Environmental Issues, Policies and Clean Technology
Although the EEA has found that phosphate levels in rivers have decreased by nearly half since 1998 as a result of better wastewater management and the reduced use of fertilizers, the levels of nitrate in French rivers continue to be stable and are rising in groundwater bodies.
- 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.
- Why are plasticizers important in biopolymer-based films & coatings production?
- In biopolymer-based films and coatings production, plasticizers are also essential additives since they can improve flexibility and handling of films, maintain integrity and avoid pores and cracks in the polymeric matrix .
- Does plasticizer type affect the equilibrium moisture content of films?
- Plasticizer type did not significantly affect the equilibrium moisture content of films. Sucrose added films were the most fragile at low RH, while GLY films were the most hygroscopic. However, at RH of 76–90%, sucrose films showed similar resistance compared to other plasticized films.
- Do polyols affect mechanical and surface properties of chitosan films?
- The effect of polyols such as GLY, EG, PEG and PG on mechanical and surface properties of chitosan films was evaluated considering the plasticizer volatility , since it may influence film properties and stability during application and storage, i.e. the less volatile the plasticizer, the better it is for use.
- Are biopolymers a good substitute for conventional plasticizers?
- The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers, such as phthalates and other synthetic conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
- Do plasticizer concentration and hydrophilic nature affect moisture affinity of cassava starch films?
- Plasticizer concentration and hydrophilic nature were found to be important factors in determining the moisture affinity of cassava starch films . GLY-containing films adsorbed more water and at a higher rate during their storage, compared to sorbitol films.
