Di(2‐propylheptyl) phthalate: A new plasticizer choice
The performance properties of phthalic acid esters can be modified for an advantageous cost/benefit position by varying the alcohol moiety of the ester molecule in the practical range of C4–C13 and by specifying the linearity of the alcohol main chain. The C8, C9, and C10 alcohols produce esters of most value as PVC plasticizers.

ASTM E852 : Standard Test Methods for C4-C13 Plasticizer
Description / Abstract: ASTM E852, Revision 94A, December 15, 1994 - Standard Test Methods for C4-C13 Plasticizer Grade Alcohols. 1. Scope. 1.1 These test methods cover the chemical and physical analysis of liquid C4 to C13 alcohols that are manufactured for further processing into plasticizers. The key sections appear in the following order:
- Which Oxo alcohols are used in plasticizers?
- Besides 2PH, a high purity mixture of C10 oxo alcohols, plasticizers such (ELATUR® CH/ ELATUR® DPT/ VESTINOL® 9) are offered by this market segment. Isononyl (INA) 2-Propylheptanol (2-PH)
- Which plasticizer molecule is based on linevol alcohol?
- The plasticizer molecule based on LINEVOL alcohol improve the flexibility of the polymers. There are two Shell LINEVOL grades: LINEVOL 911 (C9-11 alcohols) and LINEVOL 11 (C11 alcohol).
- What are performance intermediates plasticizers made of?
- Our plasticizers are manufactured on the basis of isononyl alcohol (INA), and are used primarily for the manufacture of soft-PVC products and in industries such as construction and automotive industries for example. Performance Intermediates is a major producer of C4-based materials for the rubber, plastics and specialty chemicals markets.
- How are plasticizers made?
- They are manufactured from internal and alpha olefins using Shell Hydroformylation (SHF) technology, the same technology as we use for the Shell NEODOL detergent range of alcohols. Plasticizers improve the softness and flexibility of the polymers into which they are incorporated.
- What is c13-c15-alcohol?
- C13-C15-alcohol is a mixture of isomeric tridecanols to pentadecanols and reacts in the manner typical of this class of substances. Of significance for its application in practice are, for example, its reaction with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide in the manufacture of surfactants and its reaction with acids to form the corresponding esters.
- Which plasticizer is best for Plastisol processing?
- VESTINOL® 9 is used in both thermoplastic and plastisol processing operations and in both cases, represents excellent value for money and an outstanding processing window. ELATUR® CH – our universal plasticizer – is especially suitable for more demanding PVC applications, such as everyday objects which come into direct contact with the skin.
