EcoFriendly Plasticizers IHS Chemical - IHS Markit
Eco-Friendly Plasticizers PEP Report 62B Published December 2014 Plasticizers are organic esters, which is compounded into polymers to facilitate processing, and to improve flexibility and toughness of the final products through internal modification of the polymer morphology.
Hanwha Solutions' phthalate-free plasticizer Eco-DEHCH offers
Eco-DEHCH is one of the most recognized phthalate-free plasticizer developed by a research team at Hanwha Solutions’ Chemical Division, providing eco-friendly alternative for hazardous dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and less-harmful but less-effective terephthalate like dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP).
Alternative plasticizer - Diethylhexyl Adipate (DEHA/DOA)
Dioctyl adipate DOA plasticizer (Bis (2-Ethylhexyl) Adipate) is a light colored, oily liquid generally used as a plasticizer for PVC. It can be used alone or blended with other plasticizers. In PVC, DOA features flexibility at low temperatures, good electrical properties, good resistance to weathering, and good stability to heat.
Internally Plasticized PVC by Four Different Green
Various efforts for producing more eco-friendly plasticizers have been carried out by using biobased sources such as diester succinates, which display better biodegradation behavior and...
What is the best alternative to DEHP for medical-grade PVC
A monomeric plasticizer, TOTM’s high molecular weight makes it less mobile than other alternative plasticizers and, for that matter, than DEHP. In spite of its chemical designation as a terephthalate, DOTP is classified as a non-ortho-phthalate, different from DEHP in terms of animal toxicology and metabolization, explains Galland.
- Are green bio-based plasticizers effective?
- Therefore, the green bio-based plasticizers with excellent migration resistance and cold resistance are provided with broad application prospects. One of the feasible ways to solve the above problems is to take advantage of natural resources as ingredient to develop renewable non-toxic plasticizers.
- Are there alternative plasticizers?
- There are a considerable number of alternative plasticizers in employment, without any toxicological data available (dibutyl adipate, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and bis-2-ethylhexyl sebacate, to name a few).
- Can DOA be used as auxiliary plasticizer?
- However, due to the poor migration resistance of cold-resistant plasticizer DOA, it can only be used in PVC as an auxiliary plasticizer. Therefore, it is usually used in conjunction with DOP and DOA, the proportion of DOA does not exceed 20 wt%, to impart cold resistance to PVC.
- Is AC-fame-Tae a good alternative plasticizer for PVC?
- The current study indicated that AC-FAME-TAE was a promising alternative plasticizer for PVC and might be an excellent phthalate substitute in terms of environmental protection and human health. Furthermore, most of the vegetable oils are edible, which is not conducive to the rational use and distribution of resources.
- Are biobased plasticizers safe?
- Biobased plasticizers, (66−68) such as soyabean oil, castor oil (as examples provide in previous paragraph), cardanol, and isosorbide, can provide safe alternatives based on their hypotoxicity, renewability, degradability, and plasticizing performances. (68) Preventing regrettable substitutions is a considerable challenge for scientists globally.
- Can ricinoleate Plasticized PVC be used as a substitute for DOA?
- In addition, the tensile results showed that the ricinoleate could be used as a substitute for DOA, indicating its excellent plasticizing efficiency and mechanical properties. More importantly, ricinoleate plasticized PVC exhibited the ranking migration stability in various environments, lower glass transition temperature in DMA analysis.
