A Strategy for Nonmigrating Highly Plasticized PVC
To show plasticity, PVC must be heated to a certain temperature, which is challenging for PVC moulding products. Therefore, in PVC materials, plasticization is necessary to reduce softening...

Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
Citrate plasticizers have good miscibility, biodegradable, resistant to leaching and water and have legal use as additives. The demand for bioplasticizers is reported to increase from 887
- How to choose a plasticizer for PVC?
- Using external plasticizers, it is very convenient to select from a variety of plasticizers depending on the desired properties and processability of PVC. Plasticizer is not only a processing aid but also an important component to determine the performance and application of PVC.
- 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.
- What are the different types of plasticizers?
- There are two main groups of plasticizers: primary—the main plasticizer in a PVC blend, added in large quantities and highly compatible with PVC; and secondary—having limited compatibility with PVC, easily migrating, especially when used in excess and usually added to the blend to improve its properties or to reduce its costs . Figure 1.
- Why is plasticizer important?
- Plasticizer is not only a processing aid but also an important component to determine the performance and application of PVC. Therefore, plasticizers are the most important commercial application of PVC. However, plasticizers can leach out of flexible PVC, changing the performance of PVC with age and contaminating the environment.
- Can Plasticizers improve the mechanical properties of poly (vinyl chloride)?
- Multiple requests from the same IP address are counted as one view. This paper reviews the current trends in replacing commonly used plasticizers in poly (vinyl chloride), PVC, formulations by new compounds with reduced migration, leading to the enhancement in mechanical properties and better plasticizing efficiency.
- How does an efficient plasticizer interact with PVC?
- An efficient plasticizer interacts with PVC and breaks the extended network of chain-to-chain dipole-induced dipole forces present originally in a polymer that is observed as an attenuation of a signal coming from the covalent bonds. The stronger the interactions, the more prominent the shift of particular peaks to the lower wavenumber .
