- Are green plasticizers good for PVC?
- The new blends of PVC made with green plasticizers show attractive properties in terms of thermal stability, migration resistance, mechanical properties, etc. making them appropriate for the medical and industrial applications.
- Which plasticizers are used in flexible PVC products?
- The conventional petroleum-derived plasticizers used in many flexible PVC products are phthalate esters (also known as “phthalates”). The literature reported that phthalates represent more than 85% of world plasticizers production, of which 90% is annually used in PVC manufacturing .
- What is polyvinylchloride (PVC)?
- Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic polymer widely used in large applications due to the excellent balance between cost and properties. Due to the environmental and human health concerns of consumption of petrochemical-based plasticizers, the use of bio-based plasticizers has been increasing.
- Are bio-plasticizers a sustainable alternative to traditional plasticizers?
- Bio-Plasticizers, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plasticizers, enhance PVC's properties while promoting sustainability across various industries due to health concerns.
- What is the landscape of plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- The landscape of plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is evolving rapidly. As the awareness of environmental and health implications increases, innovation in this area becomes crucial.
- How are bio-plasticizers used in PVC?
- Bio-Plasticizers are integrated into polyvinyl chloride (PVC) during the manufacturing process to enhance the material’s flexibility and workability. This incorporation occurs through a process known as internal plasticization, where the Bio-Plasticizer interacts with the polymer matrix at a molecular level.
