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).
Sustainability
In 2017, Hanwha Solutions’ Chemical Division successfully commercialized ECO-DEHCH, an eco-friendly plasticizer. Plasticizers help make plastics more flexible and less brittle, but traditional plasticizers can have harmful effects on humans and the environment. ECO-DEHCH addresses these issues and makes plastics safer to handle and recycle.
Combining Renewable Eleostearic Acid and Eugenol
The recent studies on sustainable plasticizer mainly focus on raw material source, synthesis method and plasticization, but the effect of chemical functional groups (epoxy group and ester group) of sustainable plasticizer on compatibility and thermal stability of plasticized polyvinyl chlorid (PVC) materials has been ignored. In this study, two kinds of sustainable plasticizers (eleostearic

- What are the possible solutions to plastic pollution?
- Possible solutions include: (1) the use of green energy, green hydrogen, bio-based feedstocks, or CO2 in synthesis; (2) the reuse or recycling of plastics through conversion or pyrolysis; and (3) the production of biodegradable polymers. The German chemical industry contributes approximately one-third of polymer production in the EU.
- 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 .
- How sustainable is Germany's chemical industry?
- Polymers accounted for approximately 17% of this turnover (EUR 29.8 billion). Germany ranks fifth in the world in sales of these products after China, the USA, South Korea, and Japan. Overall, the German chemical industry is at the beginning of its transition to sustainability.
- Can German plastic manufacturers follow EU policies?
- German plastic manufacturers have attempted to follow this plan. Germany is an important member of the European Union, and such goals are embedded in EU policies and integrated into the policies of the European chemical industry, which is represented by its umbrella organization, the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC).
- What is the future of plastic recycling in Germany?
- Higher recycling targets and the rising costs of post-consumer PET in this area are becoming an increasing concern. Under German law, for packaging, which uses 30% of all plastics, mechanical recycling is preferred over chemical recycling. Therefore, debonding and monolayer recovery are growing areas of development.
- Will Green specialty polymers help Evonik achieve its sustainability goals?
- In addition, water consumption is significantly lower. In summary, projects devoted to green specialty polymers will help Evonik achieve its overall sustainability goals of reducing its carbon footprint in 2030 by 25% as compared with 2021 and becoming carbon-neutral by 2050.
