Eastman Plasticizers for PVC
Benzoflex - 181 Plasticizer Benzoflex181 is a water white alkyl benzoate ester with low odor, low viscosity and excellent compatibility with PVC. Benzoflex181’s principal use is as a low viscosity plasticizer for plastisol applications. Benzoflex 181 may also be used in other applications requiring a low viscosity, high solvating plasticizer.
What you may not know about PVC and your sexual health
It is generally known that anything “rubbery” (like jelly toys) have plasticizers like phthalates. A test done on one of Doc Johnson’s products revealed that their “body-safe, phthalate-free”...

Citroflex Plasticizers for Flexible PVC - ChemPoint
Phthalate plasticizers, including DEHP, have been the primary plasticizers used in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) based products for many years. Citroflex citric acid esters are excellent alternatives to phthalate-based plasticizers as they provide a better balance of physical properties and low volatility when used in PVC systems.
Handbook of Plasticizers - 3rd Edition
Description. Handbook of Plasticizers, Third Edition, is an essential professional reference, providing information that enables R&D scientists, production chemists, and engineers the information they need to use plasticizers more effectively, and to avoid certain plasticizers in applications where they may cause health or material durability
- What happens when plasticizers are introduced into PVC gel?
- The introduction of plasticizers into PVC results in a transition from rigid PVC (solid) to soft PVC gel (colloid). In pure PVC gel, the PVC molecular chains form the internal network skeleton, restrict the migration of plasticizers, and provide a stable cross-linked structure .
- Why do we need plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- Plasticizers play a crucial role in the overall performance and usability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Their addition can significantly alter the mechanical properties of PVC, thereby expanding its application range.
- What makes a good plasticizer?
- A good plasticizer must blend uniformly with the PVC matrix, ensuring that it does not phase-separate or lead to inconsistency in the material properties. An effective means to evaluate compatibility is through the analysis of: Solubility: The plasticizer should dissolve in PVC without forming precipitates.
- Are plasticized polyvinyl chloride gel based soft actuators good?
- Plasticized polyvinyl chloride gel (PVC gel)-based soft actuators have strains (> 40 %), stress (> 0.6 MPa), and velocities (> 20 Hz) comparable to those of human muscles , with good stability and durability at low electric fields (< 15 V/μm) [, , ].
- Are plasticizers compatible with PVC?
- The molecular structure of plasticizers largely determines their effectiveness and compatibility with PVC. Plasticizers typically consist of large molecules that are capable of inserting themselves between PVC chains. This insertion effectively reduces intermolecular forces, allowing the PVC to become more flexible.
- What are phthalate-free internal plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials?
- In this work, the phthalate-free internally plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials were developed by covalent attachment of tributyl citrate (TBC), propargyl ether tributyl citrate (PrTBC), oleic acid, and poly (dimethylsiloxane) diglycidyl ether terminated (PDMS, Mn ≃ 800) to the PVC matrix.
