Cargill Plasticizers | Bio-Based Plasticizers | Cargill
Cargill has created a bio-based plasticizer that meets the rigorous regulations for the PVC industry without sacrificing performance or profitability. The Biovero plasticizer solution is derived from bio-based feedstock and includes sustainability benefits, flexibility, and high efficiency.
Cargill launches Biovero bio-based plasticizer - bioplastics
The first application for Biovero plasticizers will be in the production of home and commercial flooring. Flooring manufacturers are seeing high performance with the plant-based product while meeting regulatory requirements and consumer demands for phthalate-free products.

Product Details Epoxol EM100 Plasticizer, Asphalt Modifier
Plasticizers: POLYSORB ID, plant-based solutions
Plasticizers Phthalate-free and 100% bio-based solutions offering the performance of standard general-purpose primary plasticizers. POLYSORB ID - isosorbide diester POLYSORB ID can be used to make diesters obtained from esterification of isosorbide with plant-based fatty acids.
- Can biobased plasticizer replace phthalates?
- Biobased plasticizers with low toxicity are expected to replace certain phthalates. The plasticizing effect of single biobased plasticizer is not good. Biobased plasticizer with synergistic effects is required. There exists the trade-off effect between the molecular weight and the compatibility.
- 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.
- What are bio-based PVC plasticizers?
- Many bio-based PVC plasticizers, such as vegetable oil-based plasticizers, cardanol-based plasticizers, lactic acid-based plasticizers, waste cooking oil-based plasticizers, polyester plasticizers, hyperbranched plasticizers and so on, have been extensively studied.
- 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) .
- Can biobased plasticizer be used as a heat stabilizer?
- The plasticizing effect of single biobased plasticizer is not good. Biobased plasticizer with synergistic effects is required. There exists the trade-off effect between the molecular weight and the compatibility. Epoxidized isosorbide ester can be used as a heat stabilizer. The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
