Hanwha Solutions' phthalate-free plasticizer Eco-DEHCH offers answer to
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).
Alcoholysis of polyethylene terephthalate to produce dioctyl
Abstract Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) is a new kind of green and non-toxic plasticizer. The traditional process to prepare DOTP is costly and complicated, thus it is very necessary to find an efficient and environmentally-friendly way to obtain DOTP.
Hanwha Chemical Produces Next-generation Eco-friendly Plasticizers
At its plant located in the Ulsan Petrochemical Industry Complex, the annual production capacity is expected to be 15,000 tons. Plasticizers are additives that soften and thereby improve the flexibility of plastics. However, the phthalate content in plasticizer is known to be toxic to humans.
Green Tech: The rise of environment-friendly technologies
Green technology has been around for a while but, with growing awareness of issues such as climate change, it is finally gaining mainstream adoption and attention. The opportunities are vast, especially in the renewable energy sector, where the pace of adoption in recent years has accelerated. More countries are pursuing net zero carbon emission goals, […]
Six ways that governments can drive the green transition
Plastic flowing into the oceans is expected to nearly triple in volume in the next 20 years, adversely affecting our ecosystems, health and economies. 4 And the UN estimates that agricultural production will need to increase by about 50% by 2050 to keep pace with rising demand for food. 5 But food systems cause as much as a third of greenhouse gas emissions, up to 80% of biodiversity loss and
- What is a green certification in Malaysia?
- A green certification is an endorsement that a product, service, or company adheres to certain environmental standards. In Malaysia, multiple agencies grant them, each focusing on specific aspects like energy efficiency, waste management, or water conservation. One primary catalyst for green certification adoption is growing consumer awareness.
- What is a turn-key DOTP plant?
- Turn-Key DOTP plant With our patented plasticizer technology, we build the most qualified and economic DOTP (Di Octyl Tere Phthalate) production plants. Through the advantages of our technology, we have built more than 30 turn-key DOTP plants in such a short time. The sum of the capacities of plans we built has reached to 500.000 tons/year.
- Why are Malaysians adopting green certification?
- One primary catalyst for green certification adoption is growing consumer awareness. Malaysians are becoming more conscious of the environment and their impact on it. They're choosing eco-friendly products and services over their conventional counterparts.
- How many turn-key DOTP plants have we built?
- Through the advantages of our technology, we have built more than 30 turn-key DOTP plants in such a short time. The sum of the capacities of plans we built has reached to 500.000 tons/year. PATENTED DOTP PRODUCTION PROCESS
- Why is Malaysia becoming more eco-friendly?
- Malaysians are becoming more conscious of the environment and their impact on it. They're choosing eco-friendly products and services over their conventional counterparts. Businesses have seized this opportunity to differentiate themselves through green certification. The Malaysian government also plays a significant role here.
- How hard is DOTP production?
- But, DOTP production is very hard, it requires high technology. Many DOP producers especially in Asia, are trying to produce DOTP with their old DOP technology. But if you produce DOTP with an old DOP technology, the costs will be very high and quality will be low so there will be no chance of competing.
