Effectiveness of triacetin and triethyl citrate as
It was found that, at a fixed amount of plasticizer (10%), TRI caused reduction of glass transition temperature (Tg) and melt temperature (Tm) in both PVA with the largest reduction in 88% hydrolysed PVA while TEC showed insignificant changes of Tg and slight reduction of Tm suggesting higher effectiveness of plasticization in 88% hydrolysed PVA
Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers, such as phthalates and other synthetic conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
Triacetin as a Secondary PVC Plasticizer | SpringerLink
In this study, a glycerol derivative plasticizer (triacetin—TAG) was tested as a secondary plasticizer for PVC. TAG was added to PVC formulations from 10 up to 20 phr. The increase of the plasticizer content had a great influence on the properties of PVC samples.

Sustainability | Eastman Renew plasticizers | Eastman
Sustainability without waiting: Available at scale—right now. Eastman Renew plasticizers can be used as drop-in replacements without compromising performance. Eastman 168 Renew non-phthalate plasticizer, for example, delivers the same rheological properties as legacy Eastman 168, the long-standing standard in safety and performance.
- What are eco-friendly plasticizers?
- In this paper, eco-friendly plasticizers, such as glycerin (GL), diacetin (DA), triacetin (TA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) are necessarily introduced. The plasticizing effect is evaluated by harmonic interface energy between CDA and plasticizer from contact angle test.
- Is triacetin an effective plasticizer for hydrophobic starch based films?
- For hydrophobic starch-based films, triacetin, as a common food additive in the food industry and non-toxic and eco-friendly to human and environment, in the meantime, triacetin has been proved to display effective plasticization for starch esters, is an applicable plasticizer, which have been applied in our previous work [21,23,24].
- Is tri a good plasticizer?
- A few researchers incorporated TRI or TEC as plasticizer in polymers such as PLA [7, 8] and PVC with reported reduction of glass transition temperature and melting temperature suggesting improvement in flexibility and processibility.
- Is glycerol a secondary plasticizer?
- In the present work, a glycerol derivative (triacetin—TAG) was used as PVC secondary plasticizer. The PVC formulations were characterized by tensile strength, shore A hardness, density, MFI, DMA and TGA to evaluate the effect of this environmentally friendly plasticizer on the performance of the PVC formulations.
- Can glycerin acetate be used to plasticize PVC?
- The use of glycerol derived plasticizers has been reported to provide PVC with excellent mechanical properties . Mixtures of glycerin acetates have been reported to afford the same plasticization efficiency as di (2-ethylhexyl) adipate) (DEHA) .
- Which plasticizers are suitable for CDA?
- Glycerin (GL), diacetin (DA), triacetin (TA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were chosen as the green candidate plasticizers for CDA, because they are environmentally sustainable (“eco-friendly”) plasticizers with low toxicity (Lee et al. 2006a, b; Rao and Diwan 1997).
