Hanwha Solutions' phthalate-free plasticizer Eco-DEHCH offers answer to
The Q CELLS Division offers total energy solutions from photovoltaic module manufacturing, power plant operation to electricity retailing service. The Chemical Division, the first in Korea to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC), manufactures various chemical products and eco-friendly plasticizers.
A Strategy for Nonmigrating Highly Plasticized PVC
Phthalate esters are still the most powerful plasticizers and dominate the plasticizer market due to their great plasticizing effect and low-cost, although phthalate plasticizers can migrate to
Hanwha Solutions' phthalate-free plasticizer Eco-DEHCH offers answer to
Eco-DEHCH is one of the most recognized phthalate-free plasticizer developed by a research team at Hanwha Chemical, providing eco-friendly alternative for hazardous dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and

Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
Citrate plasticizers have good miscibility, biodegradable, resistant to leaching and water and have legal use as additives. The demand for bioplasticizers is reported to increase from 887
- 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.
- Why are phthalate plasticizers becoming bioplasticizers?
- Owing to health concerns, depletion of crude resources and other factors, there is a gradual drift from traditional phthalate plasticizers to bioplasticizers in the plastic industry. Bioplasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, it’s by-products and waste.
- 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 plasticizers biodegradable?
- Plasticizers are additives used to ensure flexibility to polymer blends and thereby to increase their processability. As the typical plastic component phthalates and other fossil-based components contribute environmental issues since such compounds are not biodegradable.
- Are there alternative plasticizers?
- There are a considerable number of alternative plasticizers in employment, without any toxicological data available (dibutyl adipate, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and bis-2-ethylhexyl sebacate, to name a few).
- Are non phthalates worth it?
- Cerena reports claims that, non phthalates a total volume of 22% of world global plasticizers . rate of 9.5% per an num to 1900 kilo tonnes by 2025 . worthwhile in the near future [4 3]. Figure 7 shows the from 2014 to 2025 .
