Health, Eco Concerns Give Non-Phthalate Plasticizers a Push
These two groups of non-phthalates have been given a green light for low plasticizer migration in medical-device components made of ABS, PC, PS, and acrylic that come in contact with PVC components. DOTP, HEXAMOLL DINCH IMPROVEMENTS. DOTP and Hexamoll DINCH are two leading non-phthalate alternatives gaining significant ground.
Eastman Plasticizers for Adhesives
Admex 6995 is a medium molecular weight, light colored, polymeric adipate with a mild ester odor. Benzoflex 9-88 is a high solvating benzoate ester plasticizer that can be used in a wide variety of polymer systems and applications. Its diverse uses include resilient flooring, adhesives, caulks, and sealants.
Two Phthalate-Free PVC Plasticizers Stand Out in New Report
The Healthy Building Network's Phthalate-Free Plasticizers in PVC report reviews the health and environmental impacts of phthalate-free plasticizers, highlighting Grindsted Soft-n-Safe from Danisco/DuPont and Polysorb ID 37 from Roquette as top performers, based on current knowledge. The Healthy Building Network (HBN) has released a research

- 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
- How can plasticizers be used to make polymers soft and flexible?
- By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature. Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types.
- How much do plasticizer imports cost in Asia?
- from $145 million to $612 million. The majority of those imports are likely to contain toxic phthalates such as DEHP, which, according to the most recent estimates, still holds 60% of the plasticizer market in Asia (“Evaluation of new scientific evidence concerning DINP and DIDP in relation to entry 52 of Annex XVII to REA
- Why are plasticizers used in PVC building materials?
- Chloride (PVC) building materials. Plasticizers are added to PVC to make it flexible, but since they are not tightly bound to the PVC molecul s, they migrate from PVC products. Phthalates, the most commonly used plasticizers in PVC, are known endocrine disruptors – chemicals that interfere with hormone signaling, which is especially criti
- Which plasticizers are bio-based?
- s the use of bio-based feedstocks. Three of the plasticizer alternatives discussed are bio-based: COMGHA, I osorbide diesters, and Ecolibrium. Danisco’s Soft-n-Safe, is 80% bio-based, made with castor
- Which plasticizer has multiple data gaps?
- n assessment, remains undisclosed.Another plasticizer with multiple data gaps is DEHT, which lacks testing on neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, respiratory sensitization, in-vivo genotoxicity and needs further testing on reproductive toxicity and endocrine activity du o uncertainties in current data.
