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...
Special Issue "Green Plasticizers for Polymers" - MDPI
The scope of this issue ranges from synthesis of green plasticizers, enhancement of physical and rheological properties, migration of plasticizers upon disposal, relationships between plasticizers and human health, and life-cycle-assessment. Particular emphasis will be placed on the design and evaluation of new green plasticizers, using the
Developments of biobased plasticizers for compostable

Selecting Tackifiers for Adhesives and Sealants
Functions of Tackifiers In adhesive and sealant formulations, tackifiers are used to generate tack and improve specific adhesion (peel strength). They are incorporated into base polymers which mainly lack tackiness and pressure-sensitive properties but provide cohesion.
EcoFriendly Plasticizers IHS Chemical - IHS Markit
Eco-Friendly Plasticizers PEP Report 62B Published December 2014 Plasticizers are organic esters, which is compounded into polymers to facilitate processing, and to improve flexibility and toughness of the final products through internal modification of the polymer morphology.
- What makes Petrom a sustainable plasticizer?
- Thus, in response to a growing worldwide market demand for environmentally sustainable raw materials and products, Petrom began in 2005 an intensive research project to develop plasticizers from renewable sources with a capacity to combine high performance with sustainability.
- What makes PLS Green a good plasticizer?
- With superior performance to existing alternatives, PLS Green adds to the already broad portfolio of high reliability plasticizers by Petrom: the largest manufacturer of Phthalic Anhydride in Latin America and a company fully committed to the growing global standards of quality, safety and environmental responsibility.
- What are biodegradable plasticizers?
- Biodegradable plasticizers such as soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) were added to poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties. TEC or DBP presented better plasticizing effects than SO and ESO for PHBV .
- What are natural based plasticizers?
- Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the use of natural-based plasticizers that are characterized by low toxicity and low migration. This group includes epoxidized triglyceride vegetable oils from soybean oil, linseed oil, castor-oil, sunflower oil, and fatty acid esters (FAEs) .
- What is a plasticizer?
- In general, plasticizers can be defined as low molecular weight (between 300 and 600) , high boiling point materials which are added to a film-forming polymer to enhance its flexibility, durability, processability, and workability . Their addition can avoid shrinking during storage , and in some cases reduce costs .
- What types of plasticizers are used in hydrophilic polymers?
- In addition to water, the most commonly used plasticizers are polyols, mono-, di- and oligosaccharides. Polyols have been found to be particularly effective for use in plasticized hydrophilic polymers .
