Production, Use, and Fate of Phthalic Acid Esters
Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are the most common plasticizers, approximately 90% of which are used in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products, but they are also endocrine disruptors that have attracted considerable attention. The metabolism of PAEs in PVC products in China from 1958 to 2025 was studied using dynamic material flow analysis.
Plasticizer < Our Business | OCI
Plasticizer OCI produces plasticizers that improve the flexibility and low-temperature resistance of PVC products. Product Features Plasticizer Usage Plasticizers improve the flexibility, low-temperature resistance, and processability of PVC products.
Methyl Acetyl Ricinoleate as Polyvinyl Chloride Plasticizer
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been produced since the beginning of the twentieth century [ 1] and soon was realized that PVC could be used for a wide range of applications such as cable covering [ 2 ], flooring [ 3 ], packaging [ 4 ], coatings [ 5 ], pipes [ 6 ], among many others.
Biopolyurethane/Diethylhexyl Phthalate Hybrid Plasticizer
One of the most prominent use of phthalate derivatives are on the plasticization of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Therefore, numerous carboxyl acids and their derivates have been studied as candidates for PVC plasticizer. Elastomeric polyurethanes have been extensively studied as solid-state plasticizer to induce flexibility to otherwise rigid PVC.
Effect of Modified Cardanol as Secondary Plasticizer on
novel cardanol-based plasticizer. Modied cardanol (MC, i.e., phosphorylated cardanol) containing nitrogen and phosphoric acid groups was synthesized and then incorporated into polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as the secondary plasticizer for partial substitution of dioctyl phthalate (DOP). The molecular structure of MC was characterized
- Who makes polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- The Chemical Division, the first in Korea to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC), manufactures various chemical products and eco-friendly plasticizers. The Advanced Materials Division produces high-tech materials for automotive, photovoltaic and electronic devices.
- Who makes PVC in Korea?
- After producing Korea’s first PVC in 1966, Hanwha Solutions Chemical Division successfully achieved complete vertical integration from supply to distribution. It now leads the PVC industry in Korea. Our PVC plant in Ningbo China is capable of producing 300,000 tons of PVC annually.
- Which countries manufacture poly vinyl chloride phthalate based plasticizers?
- Korea, India, Southeast Asian countries, Russia, USA, etc Based on the price competitiveness of Phthalic Anhydride (PA), the base raw material for Plasticizers, OCI produces major Poly Vinyl Chloride phthalate-based Plasticizers (DINP, TINIM, and DINA).
- What is polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- Polyvinyl chloride is a general-purpose plastic most widely used as a raw material for industrial goods, packaging films, toys, and household items. After producing Korea’s first PVC in 1966, Hanwha Solutions Chemical Division successfully achieved complete vertical integration from supply to distribution. It now leads the PVC industry in Korea.
- What is plasticizer used for?
- Plasticizer is added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is hard and brittle at room temperature, to make it soft and pliable for molding and processing. OCI’s plasticizer is added to PVC resin to produce electric cable compounds, wallpaper, flooring material, PVC film, automotive sealants (sealers), and artificial leather.
- Do plasticizers migrate from modeled and commercial polyvinyl chloride to poly (dimethylsiloxane)?
- Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review In the present study, the migration of plasticizers from modeled and commercial polyvinyl chloride (mPVC and cPVC, respectively) to poly (dimethylsiloxane) via artificial sebum was assessed to mimic the dermal migration of plasticizers.
