Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
Plasticizers are an important class of low molecular weight non-volatile compounds that are widely used in polymer industries as additives [1]. The primary role of such substances is to improve the flexibility and processability of polymers by lowering the second order transition temperature, the glass transition temperature ( Tg ).
US20060276575A1 - Plasticizer for biodegradable resin
The present invention relates to a plasticizer for biodegradable resin, which contains a compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein at least one of R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is an acyl group derived from a carboxylic acid selected from an aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acid and an acetylated aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acid, and the remainder(s) is an acetyl group, a biodegradable resin

PHA: Is It The Future Of Bioplastics? - Source Green
In short, by being bio-derived AND biodegradable and compostable, PHA is a commercially viable polyester that offers a genuinely environmentally motivated alternative to pollution-producing plastics. The following diagram gives a clearer overview of the current bio-plastics conundrum: Diagram Source: European Bioplastics
- What are Kao's additives for plastic processing?
- Among these polymer specialities are polyester resins, polyamide resin, polyurethane components, etc. along with their molding technologies. Kao’s additives for plastic processing are developed with the background of such polymer specialities business. This booklet is intended primarily to introduce Kao’s additives for use in plastics processing.
- What products does Kao offer?
- Kao offers a wide range of products used in the manufacture of plastics and rubber, from chemicals for the emulsion polymerization of plastics and rubber to various resin additives such as plasticizers, lubricants, and antistatic agents required for processing.
- What is Kao Corporation's business?
- Development and marketing of polymer specialities are also included in Kao Corporation’s business. Among these polymer specialities are polyester resins, polyamide resin, polyurethane components, etc. along with their molding technologies.
- What are biodegradable plasticizers?
- Biodegradable plasticizers such as soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) were added to poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties. TEC or DBP presented better plasticizing effects than SO and ESO for PHBV .
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
- What are Kao antistatic agents?
- Kao antistatic agents cover a wide range of product lineups. We offer a wide range of products with outstanding features using plant-based materials that can be used in a variety of applications, including electronic wire, leather sheet, film and extrusion products. Plasticizer with superior heat and fogging resistance properties.
