Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Abstract Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been widely used in the world. Petroleum-based plasticizers especially phthalates have been the most common plasticizers used in PVC. However, the global petroleum resources are becoming scarce gradually, and the hygienic requirements for plasticizers are increasing. Owing to the negative impact of petroleum-based plasticizers on human health
Recent Developments of Biobased Plasticizers and Their Effect
Plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) has been extensively utilized globally, with various applications in construction, piping, wiring and cable, installation, flooring, nonfood packing, windows, doors, and more.
Effective, Environmentally Friendly PVC Plasticizers Based on
Succinate esters are promising PVC environmentally friendly plasticizers that can replace toxic phthalate plasticizers. They are not only less toxic than phthalate plasticizers but also show better resistance to plasticizer migration from the polymer matrix.
A targeted review of bio-derived plasticizers with flame
For decades, a wide variety of products have benefitted from the use of flexible PVC, ranging from healthcare to cable to packaging & household items. The uniqueness of PVC rises from its growth as polymer from monomers and the final structure. Due to the presence of chlorine atoms, PVC is inherently flame retardant, but it cannot always meet all fire safety requirements and maintain a needed
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
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 plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been widely used in the world. Petroleum-based plasticizers especially phthalates have been the most common plasticizers used in PVC. However, the global petroleum resources are becoming scarce gradually, and the hygienic requirements for plasticizers are increasing.
- Are plasticizers environmentally friendly?
- Four environmentally friendly plasticizer samples were obtained; their chemical structures and compositions were confirmed by gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR) analyses, and their physicochemical properties and thermal stability (TGA analysis) were investigated.
- Are plasticizers compatible with PVC?
- By analyzing the relationship between molecular structure and performance of plasticizers, researchers found that the presence of carbon–carbon double bonds and hydroxyl groups reduces the compatibility of plasticizers with PVC, while the epoxy groups and ester bonds can improve the plasticizing capability of plasticizers on PVC.
- Which PVC plasticizer is best for biodegradation?
- DHS was found to be the best PVC plasticizer, which is a compromise between longer molecules favorable for plasticization and shorter molecules favorable for biodegradation.
- Are green bio-based plasticizers effective?
- Therefore, the green bio-based plasticizers with excellent migration resistance and cold resistance are provided with broad application prospects. One of the feasible ways to solve the above problems is to take advantage of natural resources as ingredient to develop renewable non-toxic plasticizers.
- Can plasticizers replace petroleum-based plasticizer in PVC applications?
- Compared to DINP and DEHP, the migration was as much as 70% lower for each plasticizer concentration. Thus, due to their good compatibility, efficiency and thermal properties, the plasticizers synthesized in this research have the potential to replace petroleum-based plasticizers in PVC applications.
