Hanwha Chemical Produces Next-generation Eco-friendly
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.
ECO-DEHCH - Hanwha Chemical
ECO-DEHCH. ECO-DEHCH by Hanwha Chemical is an eco-friendly, phthalate-free premium plasticizer. It has a high absorption rate which makes processing easier, hence less material is used as compared to DOTP plasticizers. ECO-DEHCH also has high UV-stability and tolerance to cold, which makes it suitable to be used in outdoor products.
- 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
