CEREPLAS Trimellitates are high-quality specialty plasticizers with low volatility, resistance to high temperature, high tensile strength, good electrical properties, and processing ability. While extensively used in high-temperature PVC cable insulation, their fogging performance makes them a natural choice for the automotive industry.
Eastman 168 Non-Phthalate Plasticizer | Trusted Leader
Eastman 168 is the preferred non-phthalate plasticizer for PVC, with performance equal to or better than most ortho-phthalate plasticizers. It offers good performance properties, optimal low-temperature flexibility, resistance to extraction by soapy water, and exceptional nonmigration properties.

Morflex Plasticizers - Vertellus
Morflex 560 Plasticizer: Morflex 560 (Trihexyl Trimellitate) for PVC and its copolymers. Vinyl resins plasticized with this trimellitate ester find application in a variety of markets including automotive and furniture upholstery, wire coatings, and gasket materials. It is used as a plasticizer for PVC/Teflon high-temperature wire coatings.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
It is almost colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is very slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. while miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers used in PVC compounding. Melting point: 43°C (45°F; 230 K) Boiling point: 244-252°C at 0.7 kPa.
- What is a plasticizer chemistry?
- Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
- What is the most used additive in plastics?
- Plasticizers are the most used additive in plastics. DOP is currently the most widely used plasticizer, ~70% of the total consumption of plasticizers. In China, the annual consumption is close to 1 million tons.
- What are natural product type plasticizers?
- Vegetable oil derivatives are the most widely used natural product type plasticizers. Products consisting of triglyceride esters of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil) in which the double bonds in the fatty acid residues have typically been epoxidized have been commercial products for decades.
- Which plasticizers are environmentally friendly?
- Currently, commercial environmentally friendly plasticizers include aliphatic acid esters, citrates, epoxy, terephthalates, high-carbon phthalate esters, cyclohexane dicarboxylates (or tetrahydrophthalates), polyesters, phenyl polycarboxylates, etc.
- Which plastics additive is most consumed in China?
- Plasticizers are the most consumed plastics additive. Phthalate plasticizers are the dominant type in this field and occupy >80% of the total consumption in China, of which 70% is di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) [23, 24, 25].
- What are the properties of plasticizers?
- Volatility and extractivity The volatility and extractivity are important properties of plasticizers. Lower volatility indicates the product can survive higher temperatures.
