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.

Plasticizers for the PVC industry are now also available
BASF has launched biomass balanced (BMB) plasticizers based on renewable raw materials under the names Hexamoll DINCH BMB, Palatinol N BMB, Palatinol 10-P BMB and Plastomoll DOA BMB. Instead of fossil resources, the required amount of bio-naphtha or biogas is used. These materials are derived from organic waste or vegetable oils.
Synthesis and properties of a bio-based PVC plasticizer
The use of non-toxic and biodegradable alternatives to replace phthalates has become an inevitable trend. 25–27 Currently, hundreds of plasticizers obtained from renewable bio-based resources have been commercially used, such as epoxy soybean oil plasticizer, 28,29 epoxidized glycidyl ester of ricinoleic acetic ester, 30 epoxidized tung oil
Synthesis and properties of a bio-based PVC plasticizer
The elongation at break of the PVC pieces increased from 644.65% to 802.15% as the content of ALHD improved, showing an increase of 24.4%. The mechanical property analysis showed that, with the replacement of ALHD in the place of ATBC, the PVC blends exhibited better flexibility and elasticity.
- Is there a biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation?
- Growing awareness of the effects of plasticizers on the environment and the depletion of petroleum-based resources has made the development of an alternative biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation necessary.
- Is there a bio-based plasticizer for poly (vinyl chloride)?
- Feng G, Hu L, Ma Y, Jia P, Hu Y, Zhang M, Liu C, Zhou Y (2018) An efficient bio-based plasticizer for poly (vinyl chloride) from waste cooking oil and citric acid: synthesis and evaluation in PVC films.
- How are bio-plasticizers used in PVC?
- Bio-Plasticizers are integrated into polyvinyl chloride (PVC) during the manufacturing process to enhance the material’s flexibility and workability. This incorporation occurs through a process known as internal plasticization, where the Bio-Plasticizer interacts with the polymer matrix at a molecular level.
- What are bio plasticizers?
- What are Bio-Plasticizers?
- Bio-Plasticizers are additives used in the production of plastics to improve flexibility, durability, and processability. Unlike conventional plasticizers that are petroleum-based, Bio-Plasticizers are sourced from natural materials such as vegetable oils, starches, and fatty acids.
- Are bio-based plasticizers better than PVC?
- The presented data in this paper revealed that the bio-based plasticizers led to lower stress and modulus, but the increased flexibility of PVC material, extending its application area.
- Are bio-plasticizers a sustainable alternative to traditional plasticizers?
- Bio-Plasticizers, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plasticizers, enhance PVC's properties while promoting sustainability across various industries due to health concerns.
