Eastman introduces high-purity non-phthalate plasticizer
High-product purity is defined as: Low di-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), Low 2-EH, and Specified limit for trace heavy metals, including RoHSand EN71-3. The European Union is phasing out use of DEHP under its Registration, Evaluation, Authorization & Restriction of Chemical substances (REACH) program. DEHP is already banned for use in toys.
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
DEHT is a suitable plasticizer option for phthalate-free
Materials and methods: A total of 59 RBC units were collected and processed in polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-DEHT or PVC-DEHP blood bags combined with either saline-adenine-glucose-mannitol (SAGM) or phosphate-adenine-glucose-guanosine-saline-mannitol (PAGGSM) additive solution. All units were X-ray irradiated on day 2 post-collection.

- Which phthalate based plasticizers are used in the PVC industry?
- Among the traditional plasticizers, phthalate-based plasticizers, such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), account for more than 90 % of their usage in the PVC industry.
- Are plasticizers phthalate-free?
- nyl phthalate (DINP).Key FindingsHBN identified six phthalate-free plasticizer types, three synthetic and three bio-based, in use i ommercial PVC building products. The available data suggest that non-phthalate plasticizers present fewer hu
- Are phthalate-free Plasticizer-based PVC gels safe?
- Phthalate-based plasticizers, which are commonly used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), exhibit toxic effects on both the environment and human health, leading to the exploration of phthalate-free alternatives. In this study, phthalate-free plasticizer-based PVC (Pf-PVC) gels were developed.
- Is Dioctyl terephthalate a phthalate-free plasticizer?
- It is a clear, colourless liquid with a slight odour, which is insoluble in water. Dioctyl terephthalate is a very important phthalate-free plasticizer for PVC, preferred over low-chain and ortho-phthalate plasticizers as it is considered a safer alternative due to its low toxicity.
- Are phthalate plasticizers environmental hormones?
- However, phthalate plasticizers, which possess estrogen-like structures, can bind to estrogen receptors when introduced into the human body. This interaction leads to the activation and disruption of steroid hormones, causing endocrine system disturbances. Therefore, phthalates are categorized as environmental hormones.
- Can phthalate-free Plasticizer-based PVC gels be used in electroactive focus-tunable microlenses?
- This study demonstrates the characteristics of two phthalate-free plasticizer-based PVC gels and the possibility of their application in electroactive focus-tunable microlenses.
