Plasticizers | ExxonMobil Product Solutions
DTDP plasticizer. Jayflex DTDP plasticizer is the highest-molecular-weight phthalate plasticizer, providing greater performance at high temperatures. It is the preferred plasticizer for automotive cable applications and THHN/NMB electrical wire insulation. Learn more.
ELATUR DINCD (Di-isononyl-1,4-cyclohexan-dicarboxylate)
ELATUR DINCD is an innovative low-viscosity plasticizer that is particularly suitable for demanding applications. The product is based on the raw material INA (isononanol). Its excellent low-temperature flexibility, high UV resistance and very low volatility make the product suitable for demanding exterior and interior applications such as
- What is the market size of plasticizers in 2027?
- The market size of the global plasticizers is expected to grow from $132.63 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.1%. Rising demand for flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) contributes to the growth of the plasticizer market. Flexible PVC is softer than unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) due to the addition of plasticizers.
- Why did plasticizer prices rise sharply in Q1 2022?
- Plasticizers prices rose sharply in Q1 2022 as a result of the sharp rise in crude oil prices and improved downstream demand.
