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).
Synthesis and properties of castor oil based plasticizers
T10%, T50% and TP1 values of PVC plasticized with ESO, ECO, ACO, EACO, BCO and EBCO were higher than for DOTP, which may be because compared to DOTP, the other six plasticizers have more ester bond structures and epoxy groups, which are associated with higher thermal stability than the lower-thermally stable chain segments of DOTP, thereby
Guide to Non-Toxic Vinyl Plank Flooring (& the Risks)
The most common plasticizer used now is Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP). Whether vinyl plank should be considered toxic depends on your threshold for toxins in the home and our knowledge is also limited by the current research and understanding of the new plasticizers – which we will discuss.
Health, Eco Concerns Give Non-Phthalate Plasticizers a Push
These two groups of non-phthalates have been given a green light for low plasticizer migration in medical-device components made of ABS, PC, PS, and acrylic that come in contact with PVC components. DOTP, HEXAMOLL DINCH IMPROVEMENTS DOTP and Hexamoll DINCH are two leading non-phthalate alternatives gaining significant ground.
- Is eco-dehch a safe plasticizer?
- Therefore, its use is prohibited in wallpapers, flooring materials, toys and many other products. Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) plasticizers are used as an alternative, but done so at the expense of product quality. The new eco-friendly plasticizer ECO-DEHCH from Hanwha, however, is not short on quality and it is safe for humans.
- Are hydrogen-added plasticizers eco-friendly?
- As the production of eco-friendly plasticizers require advanced technology, the barrier to entry is high and its key strengths and strong value proposition assures there is no concern for oversupply. The hydrogen-added plasticizer is currently being manufactured by only two companies in the world: BASF and EVONIK.
- What is plasticizer phthalate based?
- Plasticizer is a chemical substance capable of making plastics softer, and phthalate is one of the most common materials to achieve it. However, phthalate-based plasticizer has often been blamed for disrupting the hormone system and thus been restricted from toys and furniture.
- Where is phthalate-free plasticizer eco-dehch produced?
- Hanwha Solutions’ Chemical Division announced that it quadrupled annual production of phthalate-free plasticizer Eco-DEHCH. Up to 6.5 tons of it will be produced every year at a petrochemical industrial complex in the southeastern port city of Ulsan, South Korea.
- Are phthalate plasticizers safe?
- However, the phthalate content in plasticizer is known to be toxic to humans. Therefore, its use is prohibited in wallpapers, flooring materials, toys and many other products. Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) plasticizers are used as an alternative, but done so at the expense of product quality.
- What is the market size of plasticizers?
- The current market size of conventional plasticizers is about $7.1 billion worldwide, but amid increasing regulations on the use of phthalate globally, eco-friendly plasticizers are replacing the conventional plasticizers in the market.
