BASF and Linde signed cooperation agreement
Demand for high-purity isobutylene makes it one of the fastest growing chemical intermediate markets worldwide. It is used in a wide variety of high-value applications such as butyl rubber, polyisobutylene (PIB) and (poly) methyl methacrylate (PMMA).
INVISTA Adi-pure | High-Purity Adipic Acid
With excellent uniformity and consistent end-use performance, Adi-pure adipic acid is a valuable intermediate for a wide range of applications, including: as a monomer in nylon, paper additives, copolyamides, terpolymers and unsaturated polyester resins in polymer additives for epoxy curing agents and plasticizers
Hanwha Impact
Because PTA has excellent heat resistance, mechanical strength, water resistance, abrasion resistance, insulating nature, etc., so it is used as the main raw material for polyester fiber, and widely used as a raw material for PET resin, film, paint, and industrial materials.

- What is the growth rate of plasticizers in 2023?
- The plasticizers category is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2023 to 2030. A plasticizer is a compound or material that is added to a polymer solution in order to enhance its flexibility and plasticity. In the plastics industry, plasticizers are among the most frequently utilized additives.
- What are the major cost components of plasticizers?
- The key raw materials associated with the production of plasticizers are olefins, alcohols, and acids. Hence, the major cost components include raw materials, energy and equipment, labor, facilities and storage, and transportation.
- Why did Eastman plasticizer prices increase in 2022?
- For instance, since July 2022, Eastman has increased its plasticizer prices due to ongoing pressure from raw materials, energy, and transportation costs. Price increases were in the range of USD 0.075 to USD 0.100 /LB in North America and Latin America.
- Why is the plasticizers industry fragmented?
- The polymers and in turn the plasticizers industry is highly fragmented. The nature of the polymer industry is such that it comprises a diverse range of specifications and end-user markets, leading to market fragmentation. It is even more complex in the recycled plastics industry.
- What are plasticizers used for?
- In the plastics industry, plasticizers are among the most frequently utilized additives. The most common polymer to employ plasticizers is Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), which is the third largest by volume after Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (PE).
- How much do plasticizers cost?
- Prices at the end of November reached USD 675 – 1,000 / ton in Southeast Asia and China. In terms of consumption, China is the world's largest consumer of plasticizers, accounting for more than 35 – 40% of the total share in 2022.
