Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
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...

Eastman Plasticizers for Adhesives
Benzoflex 9-88 is a high solvating benzoate ester plasticizer that can be used in a wide variety of polymer systems and applications. Its diverse uses include resilient flooring, adhesives, caulks, and sealants. Product availability by region: Asia Pacific | Europe, Middle East, & Africa | Latin America | North America
Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
Plasticizers are used in all types of adhesive and sealant formulations. They are used primarily to the final bond and to provide improved low-temperature properties. However, plasticizers can also supply additional benefits that are important to both the formulator and end-user.
The Need for Green Plasticizers in Adhesives and Sealants
This reviews the requirements for plasticizers in adhesive and sealant formulations and identifies problems that result from conventional plasticizers. The article will then examine the development trends toward green plasticizers and recognize new materials that have been or are about to be commercialized.
- What are alternative plasticizers?
- Alternative plasticizers are still being sought, including oils such as palm oil (Hasan et al., 2020), rosehip seed oil (Darie-Niță et al., 2021), epoxidized chia seed oil (Dominguez-Candela et al., 2021), epoxidized soybean oil (Alhanish & Abu Ghalia, 2021) olive oil or corn oil ( Giannakas et al., 2017) and fatty acids ( Srinivasa et al., 2007 ).
- Is bioplasticizer a good alternative to plasticizers?
- The bioplasticizer, when incorporated into a PLA film at 1.0%, exhibited high tensile strength, tensile modulus, and an elongation percentage of 22.21 MPa, 12.29 MPa, and 22.74%, respectively, highlighting its potential as a practical, eco-friendly alternative to traditional plasticizers (Narayana Perumal et al., 2023). 7.6.3. From lignin
- Can epoxidized cottonseed oil be used as an eco-friendly plasticizer?
- Research done by Carbonell-Verdu et al. utilized epoxidized cottonseed oil (ECSO) as an eco-friendly plasticizer for PLA. The plasticization process was carried out through melt extrusion of PLA compositions containing 0%–10% ECSO.
- Are bioplasticizers biodegradable?
- Bioplasticizers are less synthetic chemicals and are biodegradable. In wire applications, the use of bioplasticizers was able to reduce carbon emissions by up to 40%. Plasticizers are the most common plastic additives. The production of plasticizers from vegetable oils is slowly replacing the plasticizers produced by petroleum products.
- What is a biodegradable plasticizer?
- Tall oil, a byproduct of the Kraft process, is also used to make bioplasticizers. Citric acid (CA) from sugarcane, beets, or citrus fruits is a popular starting material for many natural plasticizers. Other molecules that have been studied as biodegradable plasticizers include amino acids, waxes, and lecithin.
- Which plasticizer has the best mechanical properties?
- Of the plasticizers we synthesized, the best film mechanical properties were provided by OC plasticizer, containing primarily propylene glycol monoacetate, but also propylene glycol diacetate, acetic acid and propylene glycol in its mixture.
