Phthalates Analysis - Polymer Solutions
We have analyzed phthalate plasticizers, and various other types of plasticizers, for many different types of products. The following are examples of products on which we have conducted phthalates analysis: PVC Pipe Children’s toys Medical products Vinyl-coated fabrics Plastic tubing Electrical cables and wires Related Services Additives Analysis
Plasticizer Analysis - Polymer Solutions
The sample size required for plasticizer analysis is 1 to 5 grams. The highly sensitive GC-MS method can provide analysis of plasticizer that is an intentional ingredient, usually in the 1 to 30 percent range, or detect trace amounts that result from contamination or other sources.
Plasticizers Prices: Latest Price, Pricing, News, Market Analysis
North America. Plasticizers prices rose sharply in Q1 2025 as a result of the sharp rise in crude oil prices and improved downstream demand. The price of dioctyl phthalate averaged 1875 USD/MT towards the end of first sector. The increase in upstream value prices and the strengthening domestic market demand were the main factors influencing
Plasticizers Market, Industry Size Forecast Report
The plasticizers market is projected to reach USD 16.15 billion by 2025, at a cagr 5.7%. The high demand for plasticizers in various applications, such as flooring & wall coverings, wire & cable, coated fabrics, consumer goods, and film & sheet is driving the plasticizers market.
Specialty Plasticizers for Rubber/Elastomers | Hallstar
Most of the acrylics require a plasticizer to achieve low temperature performance. Many monomerics are too volatile to be of value because of the post cure requirement. Low temperature performance can be best achieved with polymerics as well as TP-759 and TegMeR 812. APPLICATIONS . O-rings; Valve stem oil deflectors; Lip seals, gaskets
- Can We quantify plasticizers in solvent mixtures with benchtop proton NMR spectroscopy?
- The feasibility of recognizing and quantifying plasticizers in solvent mixtures with benchtop proton NMR spectroscopy and IHM was presented for the first time. For this, a methodology to quantify the absolute concentrations using IHM was introduced and validated on mixture samples.
- Why are additives important for polymer products?
- Hence, the production of additives such as antioxidants, organic peroxides, and plasticizers for polymer products increases as well [, , ]. Especially plasticizers are vital for almost all product formulations and account for about one-third of the total additive production .
- Do plasticizers comply with EU regulations?
- Compliance with EU regulations concerning plasticizer use can be checked. A novel approach is introduced for the fast, reliable, and low-cost recognition and quantification of plasticizers in plasticizers mixtures. It uses benchtop 1 H NMR spectroscopy and indirect hard modeling, a mechanistic multivariate regression technique.
- Can a mixture of multiple plasticizers be found in commercial products?
- However, a mixture of multiple plasticizers is usually present in most commercial products . Their molecular structure and the similarities of plasticizers typically lead to vastly complex spectral patterns and strongly overlapping peaks in mixtures, making the simplistic approach in Ref. insufficient in many cases.
- How are hard models generated for plasticizers?
- In this study, hard models were generated based on the Indirect Hard Modeling (IHM) approach. Hard models for each plasticizer were created from the spectra of calibration samples containing a single analyte with a concentration of about 2.5 mg mL −1.
- Can NMR spectroscopy detect PVC plasticizers?
- A recent study demonstrated the rapid quantification of PVC plasticizers with benchtop NMR spectroscopy working at a 40 MHz 1 H resonance frequency . With only four scans, detection limits down to 2.49 wt% of plasticizer in PVC were achieved by utilizing a simple workflow and non-deuterated solvents.
