Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global - IHS Markit
Overall, global plasticizer consumption will grow at a rate of about 3.5% per year in the next few years. Phthalate esters, based on phthalic acid, are the main types of plasticizers used since they satisfy a broad range of processing and performance requirements, as well as a large number of markets.
A Strategy for Nonmigrating Highly Plasticized PVC
Phthalate esters are still the most powerful plasticizers and dominate the plasticizer market due to their great plasticizing effect and low-cost, although phthalate plasticizers can migrate to
Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non-phthalates)
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

Phthalate Esters in the Environment: Sources and Quantification
Phthalate esters are industrial chemicals used widely as plasticizers to impart flexibility and durability to polymers and plastics. Phthalates represent 69% of plasticizer used in USA, 92% in Western Europe and 81% in Japan [1]. Table 1 contains some of the 18 commercial phthalate esters.
- What is the use of phthalate esters in polymer formulation?
- Phthalate esters are commonly used as plasticizer in polymer formulation; in particular for poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) formulation.
- What are phthalate esters used for?
- Phthalate esters are used as plasticizers. Phthalate esters are used to prepare in harsh conditions, at a higher reaction temperature. FeCl 3-catalyzed esterification of alcohols with phthalic anhydride affords phthalate esters, under mild conditions. Phthalates are esters of phthalic anhydride.
- What are plasticizers & phthalate esters?
- Plasticizers are chemical additives that provide durability, elasticity and flexibility of polymeric products (Wilkes et al., 2005). Phthalate esters (PEs) are the dominant substance class of plasticizers, and in particular bis-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) has been the most widely used substance (Murphy, 2001, Sampson and de Korte, 2011).
- What are phthalate plasticizers?
- This makes them readily soluble in bodily fluids, such as plasma and saliva (1). Two good examples of phthalate plasticizers are DEHP ( Di-Ethylhexyl Phthalate), and DINP (Di-Isononyl Phthalate). DEHP has been the most commonly used, and is still the plasticizer of choice for all PVC medical and surgical products.
- Can plastic waste-extracted phthalate plasticizers be converted into benzoic acid?
- This study demonstrates the catalytic conversion of real plastic waste-extracted phthalate plasticizers into benzoic acid (BA), via a one-pot hydrolysis–decarboxylation process based on inexpensive Cu 2 O and H-beta zeolite, in water as a safe and environmentally benign solvent.
- Are phthalate plasticizers safer than thioesters?
- It is interesting to note that phthalate plasticizers first entered the market as a safer alternative to thioesters. They have been in use for close to fifty years and, because of their applications in plastics used in the medical industry, have been thoroughly studied.
