Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate
This page is DIC (formerly Dainippon Ink and Chemicals) 'Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers)'. DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate
Plasticizers for the PVC industry are now also available
Plasticizers for the PVC industry are now also available based on renewable and chemically recycled feedstock Saving of fossil resources and reduction of CO2 emissions Contribution to recycling of plastic waste and to increased use of renewable raw materials
Velsiflex Plasticizer | Benzoate Based, Non-Phthalate
Velsiflex is a non-phthalate plasticizer and uses benzoic acid as a key raw material. It is therefore a more environmentally-friendly product versus traditional commodity phthalates that have been linked to human health issues. While Velsiflex is not a green plasticizer, it is derived from benzoic acid, which in its salt form, is used as a food
Bio-Based Plasticizers for Polyvinylchloride (PVC) | SpringerLink
Natural–based PVC plasticizers increased over the last few years owing to the following advantages: 1. Increase the workability 2. Low toxicity 3. Low migration 4. Good compatibility with PVC 5. Provided from renewable and biodegradable resources 6. Increase the polymer chain flexibility 7. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

- What are green non-toxic plasticizers?
- With increasing of the degree of national environmental policy and export bans of Europe and America, more and more green non-toxic plasticizers are developed and applied in the PVC. Among them, ESO, one of green non-toxic plasticizers recognized by FDA, has received much attention during the past several decades .
- What makes a good plasticizer?
- A good plasticizer must blend uniformly with the PVC matrix, ensuring that it does not phase-separate or lead to inconsistency in the material properties. An effective means to evaluate compatibility is through the analysis of: Solubility: The plasticizer should dissolve in PVC without forming precipitates.
- Are plasticizers good for PVC?
- PVC is favored for its durability, lightweight nature, and resistance to wear and tear. However, its inherent rigidity can be a limitation. This is where plasticizers come into play, providing flexibility and versatility to PVC products. Polyvinyl chloride is a synthetic polymer made from the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomers.
- How do plasticizers affect the performance of PVC products?
- Plasticizers influence the flexibility, workability, and durability of PVC products. Choosing the right type of plasticizer can enhance the performance characteristics of PVC while also addressing environmental and health concerns.
- What is the landscape of plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- The landscape of plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is evolving rapidly. As the awareness of environmental and health implications increases, innovation in this area becomes crucial.
- Are bio-based plasticizers a good choice for PVC products?
- Utilizing biobased plasticizers enhances the eco-friendliness of PVC products while retaining the necessary performance characteristics. Furthermore, they often undergo a different metabolic pathway, potentially reducing toxicity concerns.
