EcoFriendly Plasticizers IHS Chemical - IHS Markit
There are increasing concerns over the traditional plasticizers like dioctyl phthalate (DOP) on its potential migration out of PVC compounds and release to the environment or human body. The concerns have caused the industry to move towards more eco-friendly plasticizers.
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).
Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
Published May 2025. Flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) accounts for 80–90% of global plasticizer consumption. Flexible PVC (and thus plasticizers) is found in the following applications: construction (flooring, wall coverings), electrical (wire and cable jacketing), consumer goods (toys, footwear, etc.), packaging, transportation (inside and outside of vehicles), furnishings, and medical uses
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
Does that 'green' plasticizer make my PVC flexible enough
Summary: A study of an eco-friendly solvent helping to make PVC plastic more flexible reveals the molecular-level interaction of hydrogen bonds between the two ingredients. What gives plastic...
- Where is plasticizer made?
- 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. Plasticizer is a chemical substance capable of making plastics softer, and phthalate is one of the most common materials to achieve it.
- 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.
- Will Hanwha halt production of phthalate-based plasticizer DOP in 2022?
- Given the growing need for observing the ESG mandate around the world, Hanwha Solutions' Chemical Division is seeking to completely halt its production of phthalate-based plasticizer DOP within 2022.
- 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.
- Can eco-dehch be used in plastic wraps?
- In 2017, the US Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted permission to Eco-DEHCH for use in plastic wraps, bottle caps and other food-related products.
