Combining Renewable Eleostearic Acid and Eugenol
The recent studies on sustainable plasticizer mainly focus on raw material source, synthesis method and plasticization, but the effect of chemical functional groups (epoxy group and ester group) of sustainable plasticizer on compatibility and thermal stability of plasticized polyvinyl chlorid (PVC) materials has been ignored. In this study, two kinds of sustainable plasticizers (eleostearic

Synthesis and properties of a bio-based PVC plasticizer
The use of non-toxic and biodegradable alternatives to replace phthalates has become an inevitable trend. 25–27 Currently, hundreds of plasticizers obtained from renewable bio-based resources have been commercially used, such as epoxy soybean oil plasticizer, 28,29 epoxidized glycidyl ester of ricinoleic acetic ester, 30 epoxidized tung oil
Methyl Acetyl Ricinoleate as Polyvinyl Chloride Plasticizer
The use of alternative plasticizers with low toxicity and good compatibility with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has become more attractive in the recent years in contrast with the phthalate derivatives. In this study, an additive derived from castor oil (methyl acetyl ricinoleate—MAR) was tested as a plasticizer for PVC. MAR was added to PVC in a range of 50–90 PHR and the increase of the
Developments of biobased plasticizers for compostable
The development and utilization of biobased plasticizers derived from epoxidized soybean oil, castor oil, cardanol, citrate, and isosorbide have been broadly investigated. The synthesis of...
- What is an ester plasticizer?
- An ester plasticizer, in its simplest concept, is a high-boiling organic solvent that when added to an elastomeric polymer reduces stiffness and permits easier processing.1 For general performance applications, compounders require moderate performance in several areas without particular emphasis on any one.
- How to choose a high-performance ester plasticizer?
- The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer. 1.
- What is a general performance ester plasticizer?
- Some general performance ester plasticizers used in the marketplace today are DOA, DIDA, DIDP, DOP, DINP and other phthalates and adipates made from straight-chain alcohols of 7–11 carbons in length. Ester plasticizers are commonly used only for their as-molded, low-temperature contribution.
- Which plasticizers are used in combination with specialty monomeric esters?
- Flame-retardant plasticizers, phosphate esters and chlorinated paraffins are often combined in usage with flame-retardant plasticizers frequently used in combination with specialty monomeric esters. Both materials are inefficient plasticizers, thus explaining their combinations with specialty monomerics.
- Do fluorocarbon elastomers accept ester plasticizers?
- Fluorocarbon elastomers will accept a relatively wide range of ester plasticizers, but here, with both the high temperature post cure and application temperatures ranging to 232°C, they find use only at very low levels for processing. The selection of an ester plasticizer can often be confusing because of the large choice available.
- Can polymeric esters enhance a high-performance elastomer?
- One example of how polymeric esters can enhance a high-performance elastomer is depicted in Figure 3. High-saturated nitrile is used in many high-heat applications. The use of 8-10 trimellitate is well documented as the plasticizer of choice for HNBR.
