Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Plasticizers are chemical additives added into polymers to influence desirable mechanical properties such as processability and ductility. These properties are a result of the association of...
Effect of Plasticizer Type on Tensile Property and In Vitro
The effect of different plasticizer types (glycerol: Gly; sorbitol: Sor; propylene glycol: PG; and polyethylene glycol 300: PEG 300) and concentrations (2040% w/w) on mechanical and thermal properties of LMP films as well as on in vitro release of indomethacin were evaluated. Without any plasticizer, a brittle LMP film with low tensile

The use of starch based films as a potential alternative choice to petroleum derived plastics is imperative for environmental waste management. This study presents a new biopolymer (sugar palm starch) for the preparation of biodegradable packaging films using a solution casting technique. The effect of different plasticizer types (glycerol (G), sorbitol (S) and glycerol-sorbitol (GS
Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
Plasticizers will reduce the melt viscosity of hot-melt adhesives and 100% solids adhesives & sealants. However, the addition of certain plasticizers to a polymeric emulsion will usually result in increased viscosity. This effect can be used to formulate a waterborne adhesive having greater coating thickness build-up.
Effects of plasticizers on the properties of breathable
The melt fluidity of CDA material increases with the increasing amount of plasticizers. The modulus and tensile strength decrease, and the elongation at break increases as a whole by blending plasticizers. DA has one more hydroxyl than TA with better compatibility with CDA.
- What is the growth rate of Thailand plastics market?
- The Thailand Plastics Market is growing at a CAGR of greater than 5% over the next 5 years. Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, SCG Chemicals Co., Ltd., INEOS Styrolution Group GmbH, THAI PLASTIC INDUSTRIES CO., LTD. and COVESTRO AG are the major companies operating in this market.
- What are the raw materials used to make plastics in Thailand?
- The raw materials used to produce plastics include cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt, crude oil, etc. The Thailand plastics market is segmented by type and application. By type, the market is segmented into traditional plastics, engineering plastics, and bioplastics.
- What is the global demand for plasticizers?
- By 1999, the global demand for plasticizers had increased to 10.1 billion pounds, worth about US $7 billion, while the total plasticizer demand in North America was 2.2 billion pounds . Europe, North America, and Japan are currently the major consumers of plasticizers, and account for 28, 22, and 10% of the global demand, respectively.
- Will recycled polyethylene terephthalate increase pet penetration in Thailand?
- In May 2022, a Thailand-based company named ENVICCO Limited started a new recycled plastic plant with the capacity to manufacture around 45,000 metric tons per year of recycled polyethylene terephthalate at Map Ta Phut, Rayong, Thailand. This will likely increase PET penetration in Thailand's plastics market.
- Why is Thailand acquiring a terephthalate recycling company?
- Thailand's Indorama Ventures, the world's top producer of PET, in November 2020, announced spending USD 1.5 billion to triple its plastics recycling operations to increase the demand among green-minded beverage producers. Indorama has been acquiring companies that recycle polyethylene terephthalate in recent years.
- How does industrial activity affect plastics market growth?
- The rise in the level of industrial activities is likely to positively impact the studied market. Over the short term, increasing usage of plastics in building and construction, and rising demand for food and beverage packaging, are some factors driving the market growth.
