Professional R&D and excellent quality plasticizer chemicals

Nonphthalate esters are plasticizers that are used as phthalate replacements. Among these, adipates are already widely used plasticizers in PVC materials and other nonphthalate plasticizers are employed in niche materials because their high cost would not enable their utilization in commodity applications ( Marturano et al., 2017 ).

Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) is a short-chained ester known as a phthalate acid ester. It is majorly used as a plasticizer for the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and in the coating of cellulose films. [ 1] Application

Dimethyl phthalate is manufactured commercially via the esterification of phthalic anhydride with methanol. The reaction can be catalysed by a strong acid, such as sulfuric acid; various lewis acids may be used as an alterative, including complexes of titanium, zirconium or tin.

Methyl muconates (Bioconversion of Thermochemical Intermediates project) can be used in plasticizers When blended with PVC (10 wt%), bio-plasticizers lead to a 75-83% reduction in T g, a 12-20% improvement over the petroleum standard Methyl muconates are potentially safer – testing and analysis ongoing PVC Ethyl Hexyl Plasticizer

Dimethyl phthalate is an organic compound with molecular formula (C2H3O2)2C6H4. The methyl ester of phthalic acid, it is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents. Dimethyl phthalate is used as an insect repellent for mosquitoes and flies.
