Bayer to trial improved plasticizer
Bayer is working on improving its Mesamoll plasticizer range with the development of a new low-haze grade. The company already has two grades of the alkylsulphonate ester-based plasticizer - the standard grade and a 'low volatility' grade. With the new grade, Bayer says it expects to improve haze performance by reducing the Hazen colour number from 300 to around 100, and to reduce the phenol

Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
Natural plasticizers used in biodegradable films from biomass products (polysaccharide-, protein-, and lipid-based films) or other films obtained by extraction of micro-organisms. Refs. Soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) 6.1.
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).
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
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...
- What are natural biodegradable plasticizers?
- Natural biodegradable plasticizers can be isolated from the agro products and litters that are cost-effective, sustainable, and huge abundant. Several natural plasticizers originate from agricultural products like trees, oleaginous plants, cereals, vegetables, and fruits, as well as their waste .
- Should petroleum-based plasticizers be replaced with bioplasticizers?
- The substitution of petroleum-based plasticizers with bioplasticizers offers noteworthy advantages, such as recyclability, biodegradability, high lubricant power, low diffusion coefficients in the polymeric matrix and very low volatility.
- Why is bioplasticizer a good plasticizer?
- Structural features of a bioplasticizer decide plasticizing ability. By refining the compatibility of bioplasticizer, the lifetime of the polymer can be improved. Plasticizers, which are involved in secondary interactions with the polymer matrix, developed various extents of compatibility with it.
- Why are biodegradable plasticizers important?
- Leachable plasticizers made of petroleum are causing growing environmental and health concerns because they are so dangerous to the environment. Therefore, searching for novel biodegradable plasticizers is of increasing interest of researchers across different domains. So, there is a need to develop bio-based plasticizers from natural sources.
- Should bio-based plasticizers be valorized in industrial processes?
- Valorization of bio-based plasticizers in several industrial processes is presented. The current industrial revolution emphasized the necessity to use environmentally friendlier sources and strategies to meet the bio-based economy challenges of the modern world.
- Which plasticizer has a strong migration resistance?
- Hyperbranched plasticizer has strong migration resistance due to its unique structure. Lactic acid-based plasticizers are a very cutting-edge direction that requires more research and development. These bio-based plasticizers can give PVC materials excellent thermal and mechanical properties under the premise of resistance to migration.
