Plasticizers Phthalate Plasticizers Phthalates Phthalate plasticizers (phthalic acid ester) are plasticizers produced by the esterification of phtalic anhydride with alcohols. Phthalate plasticizers offer exceptional compatibility and resistance to volatility and cold.
Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
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.
Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non
The plasticizer market changed in response to the restriction of low molecular weight (LMW) phthalate plasticizers such as Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) due to their hazardous properties. We investigated patterns and trends of 19 regulated and emerging plasticizers in house dust from German homes and in suspended particulate matter (SPM
Phthalates - Adhesives Ingredients Selection
Plasticizers > Phthalates. Phthalates have been extensively used in the adhesive industry as general-purpose plasticizers. They are insoluble in water but miscible in most of the organic solvents, mineral oils etc. Being cost effective compared to non-phthalates, phthalate plasticizers are used in large volumes in adhesives and sealants.
- What are phthalate plasticizers?
- Phthalate plasticizers offer exceptional compatibility and resistance to volatility and cold. SANSO CIZER DOP and DINP are examples of general-purpose phthalates. SANSO CIZER DOP (Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, DEHP) is a phthalate produced by the esterification of phthalic anhydride with 2-ethylhexanol (eight-carbon alcohol).
- What is the market size of non-phthalate plasticizers?
- [144 Pages Report] The market size of non-phthalate plasticizers is estimated at USD 3.1 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 3.9 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.6%.
- Which plasticizer is the fastest growing non Phthalate plasticizer?
- Adipates is the largest type, whereas trimellitates is the fastest-growing non-phthalate plasticizers type owing to its high-temperature performance properties. APAC is projected to be the largest market during the forecast period.
- Are nonphthalate plasticizers based on phthalic acid?
- Nonphthalate plasticizers are not based on phthalic acid, and have a different chemical structure and toxicological profile. These include terephthalates (the most common is dioctyl terephthalate [DOTP]), epoxy, aliphatics, trimellitates, polymerics, phosphates, and others. The following pie chart shows world consumption of plasticizers:
- Are phthalate plasticizers toxic?
- Phthalates are estrogenic compounds that can disrupt endocrine function and reproductive systems of animals, and studies have shown that especially lower molecular weight phthalate plasticizers are acutely and chronically toxic to a variety of aquatic micro-organisms, algae, invertebrates and fish.
