Plasticizers for the PVC industry are now also available
With Hexamoll DINCH Ccycled TM, BASF additionally launched its trusted non-phthalate plasticizer based on chemically recycled feedstock. In the manufacturing process, BASF uses pyrolysis oil obtained from previously non-recycled plastic waste instead of fossil resources at the beginning of the value chain.
Plasticizers for the PVC industry are now also available
Biomass balanced plasticizers based on renewable feedstock 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.

Health, Eco Concerns Give Non-Phthalate Plasticizers a Push
DOTP and Hexamoll DINCH are two leading non-phthalate alternatives gaining significant ground. DOTP from Eastman has been available for several decades as Eastman 168, and the company claims it is the market-leading non-phthalate plasticizer for PVC, offering performance equal to or better than most non-phthalates.
- What is Hexamoll® DINCH?
- Hexamoll® DINCH is a clear, colorless plasticizer that was developed for use in applications that are particularly sensitive based on exposure and toxicological issues. It is recommended for use in medical products, toys, and food packaging applications. Hexamoll® DINCH is suitable for use with PVC and other polar polymers.
- Is Hexamoll DINCH toxic?
- BASF developed a non-phthalate named Hexamoll® DINCH- a plasticizer that has an excellent toxicological profile and offers a well-balanced set of properties. Evaluations of toxicological studies and risk assessments by competent authorities conclude that there is no risk associated to exposure from toys made with Hexamoll® DINCH.
- Is Hexamoll a phthalate plasticizer?
- Thanks to its unique performance Hexamoll®DINCH is an established plasticizer on the market. It can be used as a substitute for traditional phthalates in many sensitive applications. Many leading brands in the toy and medical industries as well as several retailers have developed strong trust in BASF’s non-phthalate plasticizer.
- Why is Hexamoll ® DINCH a good plasticizer?
- BASF has invested more than €7 million in toxicological research for Hexamoll ® DINCH thus far. Thanks to its excellent toxicological profile and the low migration rate, the plasticizer is approved and certified by many authorities and institutions worldwide. In addition, Hexamoll ® DINCH sets high standards with regard to sustainability.
- Is Hexamoll ® DINCH soluble in water?
- 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 specially developed for applications with close human contact.
- Is Hexamoll ® DINCH sustainable?
- Thanks to its excellent toxicological profile and the low migration rate, the plasticizer is approved and certified by many authorities and institutions worldwide. In addition, Hexamoll ® DINCH sets high standards with regard to sustainability. Hexamoll ® DINCH was evaluated using the Sustainable Solution Steering methodology.
