A Strategy for Nonmigrating Highly Plasticized PVC
The as-prepared PVC has a plasticizing efficiency as high as DOP and its migration is totally suppressed. Unlike other reported methods, this approach increases the interaction between phthalate...
Europe
Our European manufacturing activities are concentrated at BASF's largest site in Ludwigshafen, Germany, where we maximize the benefits of the Verbund structure. Being part of the Verbund network not only ensures a reliable supply of raw materials, it also enables efficient plasticizer production, which benefits both our customers and our company.

Thermal Properties of Plasticized Cellulose Acetate and Its β
The plasticizer used (GTA) demonstrated a higher plasticization efficiency than TEC. The efficiencies of both plasticizers declined with increasing plasticizer content. Additionally, both plasticizers hit the saturation point (in CA) at the lowest studied concentration (15 wt%).
Determination of plasticizers efficiency for nylon by molecular
Plasticizers are incorporated in the amorphous parts of polymers while the structure and size of any crystalline part remains unaffected [ 2 ]. Plasticizer efficiency is defined as a measure of the concentration of plasticizer required to impart a specified softness to a polymer [ 2 ]. Plasticizer efficiency is greatly influenced by structural
- What is the efficiency of the plasticizers determined by?
- Plasticizers efficiency was determined by calculating cohesive energy density, solubility parameters, free volume and interaction intensities of pristine nylon, and the nylon–plasticizer blends. Four plasticizers were studied: glycerin mono stearate, benzene sulfonamide, methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (M4HB), and diethylhexyl phthalate.
- Are plasticizers a problem in Germany?
- We found an increasing number of substitutes in the German part of the three major European rivers Rhine, Danube and Elbe, as well as other waters in Germany. As a result, the total burden of plasticizers in the aquatic environment has hardly changed since 2005.
- Where are BASF plasticizers made?
- Our European manufacturing activities are concentrated at BASF's largest site in Ludwigshafen, Germany, where we maximize the benefits of the Verbund structure. Being part of the Verbund network not only ensures a reliable supply of raw materials, it also enables efficient plasticizer production, which benefits both our customers and our company.
- How is efficiency measured in a plasticizer?
- Efficiency is measured by how the plasticizer lowers the melt viscosity of the polymer. An empirical relationship between efficiency and μ (the Huggins polymer‐solvent interaction constant) is shown.
- What are the four plasticizers studied?
- Four plasticizers were studied: glycerin mono stearate, benzene sulfonamide, methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (M4HB), and diethylhexyl phthalate. Plasticizers efficiency was determined by calculating cohesive energy density, solubility parameters, free volume and interaction intensities of pristine nylon, and the nylon–plasticizer blends.
- Are plasticizers sustainable?
- The compounds with rising trends also include substances that are under scrutiny of EU authorities because of their PBT/vPvB or endocrine disruptive potential. The data show that sustainable regulation of plasticizers requires risk reduction options for both, the aquatic environment and human health.
