Plasticizer Alcohols (C4-C13) - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P
Asia, Europe, and North America are the largest markets for plasticizer alcohols, accounting for nearly 95% of world demand in 2025. Mainland Chinese consumption is projected to experience a 3.3% average annual growth in 2025–25. Demand for plasticizer alcohols in the United States and Europe is expected to grow at a modest rate.
Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global - IHS Markit
Overall, global plasticizer consumption will grow at a rate of about 3.5% per year in the next few years. Phthalate esters, based on phthalic acid, are the main types of plasticizers used since they satisfy a broad range of processing and performance requirements, as well as a large number of markets.

1. A process for preparing ester plasticizers by reacting dicarboxylic or polycarboxylic acids or their anhydrides with alcohols in the presence of a titanium-, zirconium- or tin-containing catalyst, which comprises allowing a mixture of acid or acid anhydride and alcohol to react first at from 100 to 160° C. while removing any water formed, completing the reaction by addition of the catalyst

- How are ester plasticizers selected?
- Ester plasticizers are selected based upon cost/performance evaluation. The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer.
- How to choose a high-performance ester plasticizer?
- The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer. 1.
- Why do we use ester plasticizers?
- Ester plasticizers make it possible to process elastomers easily while also providing flexibility in the end-use product. Plasticizer–elastomer interaction is governed by many factors, such as solubility parameter, molecular weight and chemical structure. Ester plasticizers are selected based upon cost/performance evaluation.
- What is a general performance ester plasticizer?
- Some general performance ester plasticizers used in the marketplace today are DOA, DIDA, DIDP, DOP, DINP and other phthalates and adipates made from straight-chain alcohols of 7–11 carbons in length. Ester plasticizers are commonly used only for their as-molded, low-temperature contribution.
- Can polymeric esters enhance a high-performance elastomer?
- One example of how polymeric esters can enhance a high-performance elastomer is depicted in Figure 3. High-saturated nitrile is used in many high-heat applications. The use of 8-10 trimellitate is well documented as the plasticizer of choice for HNBR.
- What factors affect Plasticizer-elastomer interaction?
- Plasticizer–elastomer interaction is governed by many factors, such as solubility parameter, molecular weight and chemical structure. Ester plasticizers are selected based upon cost/performance evaluation. The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties.
