Effective, Environmentally Friendly PVC Plasticizers Based on
Succinate esters are promising PVC environmentally friendly plasticizers that can replace toxic phthalate plasticizers. They are not only less toxic than phthalate plasticizers but also show better resistance to plasticizer migration from the polymer matrix.
Effective, Environmentally Friendly PVC Plasticizers Based on
The ester mixture that was found to be the most favorable plasticizer was characterized by good thermal and thermo-oxidative stability (5% weight loss temperature: 227.8 °C in air and 261.1 °C in nitrogen). The results of the research clearly indicate that the synthesized esters can provide a green alternative to toxic phthalate plasticizers.
UV and thermal stability of soft PVC plasticized with cardanol
The stability of soft PVC was studied by measuring the change in the mechanical properties due to thermo-oxidative and UV activated degradation. The results obtained were correlated to the change in the chemical structure of PVC, as studied by Fourier Transform Infrared analysis (FTIR). Section snippets Materials and methods
Synthesis and Properties of Isosorbide-Based Eco-friendly Plasticizers
Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is a popular thermoplastic for various applications, such as cable insulation, pipes, construction, packaging, window profiles, and automobile interior materials, because of its low-cost production, easy fabrication, high chemical stability, and good mechanical properties [1,2,3].
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
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...
- Does plasticizer improve thermal stability and flexibility of PVC?
- Compared with commercial dioctyl phthalate plasticizer, the plasticizer developed in this study improved the thermal stability and flexibility of PVC along with a lower glass transition temperature. The plasticizer showed marginal volatility and excellent resistance for migration in PVC matrix. The mechanism behind such observation was discussed.
- Can PVC be used as an environment-friendly plasticizer?
- The perspective of using the developed material as an environment-friendly plasticizer for PVC was outlooked. Waste cooking oil (WCO), mainly generated in urban areas from high consumption of refined vegetable oils, cause serious environmental and economic problems every year [Kulkarni and Dalai, 2006].
- Are plasticizers environmentally friendly?
- Four environmentally friendly plasticizer samples were obtained; their chemical structures and compositions were confirmed by gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR) analyses, and their physicochemical properties and thermal stability (TGA analysis) were investigated.
- Can plasticizers replace petroleum-based plasticizer in PVC applications?
- Compared to DINP and DEHP, the migration was as much as 70% lower for each plasticizer concentration. Thus, due to their good compatibility, efficiency and thermal properties, the plasticizers synthesized in this research have the potential to replace petroleum-based plasticizers in PVC applications.
- Why are plasticizers replaced with a compatible & non-toxic ester plasticizer?
- To avoid the negative effects caused by plasticizer migration and at the same time maintain the good properties of soft PVC, low-molecular-weight plasticizers were replaced with compatible and non-toxic ester plasticizers.
- Which plasticizers are used for soft PVC?
- Mechanical properties and migration resistance were determined for soft PVC with the use of three concentrations of plasticizers (40 PHR, 50 PHR, and 60 PHR).
