Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Bioplasticizers such as epoxidized plant oils, cardanol, citrates and Isorbide esters are derived from further modifications of oils and triglyceride, starch and cellulose, citric acids and...
Recent Developments of Biobased Plasticizers and Their Effect
Recently, there has been an increased consciousness of the use of natural resource-based plasticizers instead of phthalates in PVC production, because they are eco-friendly in nature. This review paper covers the utilization of traditional and biobased plasticizers for PVC plasticization, and their effect on environmental, mechanical, and
Plasticizer Excipients | American Pharmaceutical Review
Plasticizer Excipients Plasticizers are used mainly for oral solid dosage forms. Plasticizers are added to the polymers used as film forming agents in order to make the polymer pliable and soft, enhancing the flexibility and plasticity of the films.
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers) POLYCIZER, MONOCIZER Functional Products Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well.
Plasticizer Excipients - CD Formulation
DEHP (bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) is a commonly used plasticizer. It is very toxic in small doses, but long-term large-scale exposure can cause many health problems. Many tablets have film coating. This is to protect the active ingredients in the tablet. A layer of coating separates the tablet core from the outside air and humidity.
- 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 .
- Which plasticizer is best for food contact?
- (31−36)Among them, citrate ester-based plasticizers are widely used because of their good miscibility with the PLA and their biocompatibility, ideal for food contact applications. (32,34,37)Specifically, to improve the mechanical properties of the PLA, TEC, a nontoxic, eco-friendly, and natural plasticizer, has been widely used. (37−42)
- Where do natural plasticizers come from?
- Several natural plasticizers originate from agricultural products like trees, oleaginous plants, cereals, vegetables, and fruits, as well as their waste . Utilizing bio-based wastes as natural plasticizers, various polymers and materials have been tested.
- Which plasticizers can be used in food packaging?
- (10,30)Additionally, to form highly flexible materials with ideal properties for food packaging, PLA and PLA blends have been combined with numerous plasticizers such as poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), polyethylene glycol (PEG), triethyl citrate (TEC), tributyl citrate (TBC), acetyl-tributyl citrate (TBAC), or epoxidized vegetable oils.
- What are green nanocomposites made of?
- (American Chemical Society) "Green" nanocomposites were successfully fabricated from cellulose acetate (CA) powder, eco-friendly tri-Et citrate (TEC) plasticizer and organically modified clay. The effect of the amt. of plasticizer varying from 15-40% on the performance of the nanocomposites was evaluated.
- Can glycerol be used as a plasticizer for biodegradable films?
- (Elsevier Ltd.) Biodegradable films were produced from blends contained a high amt. of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) plasticized with different adipate or citrate esters. It was not possible to obtain pellets for the prodn. of films using only glycerol as a plasticizer.
