Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non
Background European chemicals management aims to protect human health and the environment from legacy and emerging contaminants. The plasticizer market changed in response to the restriction of low molecular weight (LMW) phthalate plasticizers such as Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) due to their hazardous properties. We investigated patterns and trends of 19 regulated and emerging
Producing Eastman 168 Non-phthalate Plasticizer at Maua Plant
KINGSPORT, Tennessee. Due to strong local demand, Eastman is now producing Eastman 168 non-phthalate plasticizer at its Mauá plant in the state of So Paulo, Brazil. It's the first site in the country to produce this line of plasticizer, which is a preferred alternative for several applications, including footwear, children's toys, films
Hexamoll DINCH
Hexamoll DINCH is the trusted non-phthalate plasticizer especially developed for applications with close human contact. Therefore, it is the ideal solution when it comes to high safety and quality standards. Key features include low viscosity, low density, cold temperature flexibility and an excellent toxicological profile.
Non-phthalate plasticizer for extreme applications - ChemSec
The most commonly used plasticizers for PVC are phthalates. However, there are concerns regarding toxicity of certain phthalates. This causes an increasing pressure from both public authorities and customers to shift toward the use of phthalate-free alternatives. Proviron is helping this transition by offering high-quality non-phthalate
The trusted non-phthalate plasticizer
HexamollDINCHis the non-phthalate plasticizer specially developed for applications with close human contact. Therefore it is the ideal solution when it comes to high safety and quality standards for use in many sensitive goods such as: HexamollDINCH– the trusted non-phthalate plasticizer
- What are non phthalate plasticizers?
- DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate plasticizers are shown below.
- Is velsiflex a phthalate plasticizer?
- Velsiflex is a non-phthalate plasticizer and uses benzoic acid as a key raw material. It is therefore a more environmentally-friendly product versus traditional commodity phthalates that have been linked to human health issues.
- Are plasticizers safe?
- Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well. DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys.
- Is velsiflex a plastisol?
- As a vinyl plasticizer, Velsiflex® has the solvating power that affords ample formulating latitude for optimized PVC formulations. Typical plastisol applications include calendering, flooring, or automotive plastisol sealants. Velsiflex plasticizers are high performance plasticizers. They are polar and monomeric in nature.
- Who makes dibenzoate plasticizers?
- Velsicol is a world-renowned manufacturer of dibenzoate plasticizers and first introduced them in the 1950’s throughout the globe. Velsicol played a key role, as a dibenzoate supplier, in the conversion of phthalate plasticizers to non-phthalate plasticizers.
- How can plasticizers be used to make polymers soft and flexible?
- By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature. Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types.
