Plasticizers
Plasticizers from BASF BASF is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of plasticizers. BASF offers a broad product portfolio of plasticizers for standard as well as special applications, such as toys and medical devices. Plasticizers give flexibility to PVC products such as cables or films.
Europe plasticizers spot prices at 13-month high, no sign of year-end
LONDON (ICIS)–As sources embark on December talks for European plasticizers, spot prices have reached 13-month highs and there is no sign of the traditional year-end slowdown. – Limited supply and good demand – Consumers build stock
Mesamoll | The universal plasticizer | LANXESS
The principal properties of plasticized polymers such as modified mechanical data, low-temperature flexibility and low flammability can be achieved through the use of monomeric plasticizers. If the requirements include low plasticizer migration into other plastics, coatings and adhesives or resistance to extraction by other chemicals, polymeric plasticizers from the Ultramoll range should
Hexamoll DINCH
Hexamoll DINCH is a colorless, clear and practically anhydrous liquid with a hardly noticeable odor. It is soluble in the usual organic solvents and is miscible and compatible with all of the monomeric plasticizers commonly used in PVC. Hexamoll DINCH is almost insoluble in water. Hexamoll DINCH is the non-phthalate plasticizer
- What is the global demand for plasticizers in 2024?
- In the fourth edition of its Plasticizers market study, Germany's Ceresana forecasts that global demand for all plasticizers will increase to about 9.75 million tonnes in 2024, with typical volume growth rates for the different types of about 3–3.5%.
- How much do plasticizers cost?
- Prices at the end of November reached USD 675 – 1,000 / ton in Southeast Asia and China. In terms of consumption, China is the world's largest consumer of plasticizers, accounting for more than 35 – 40% of the total share in 2022.
- What is the demand for plasticizers?
- Among the different types of plastics, demand for plasticizers is highest from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In 2016, 2.14 million tonnes of plasticizers were used solely in films, followed closely by cables and profiles.
- What is a polymeric plasticizer?
- Polymeric plasticizers are typically made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and diols. They are primarily valued for their permanence. These plasticizers are generally classified as polyesters, not adipates. Many have low solvency for PVC and high viscosity. Both these factors can make processing f-PVC compounds difficult.
- What are plasticizers & how do they work?
- Plasticizers are non-volatile organic substances (mainly liquids) added into a plastic or elastomer. They are also usually cheaper than other additives. They improve the following properties of the polymers: Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer.
- What are the major cost components of plasticizers?
- The key raw materials associated with the production of plasticizers are olefins, alcohols, and acids. Hence, the major cost components include raw materials, energy and equipment, labor, facilities and storage, and transportation.
