Sustainability | Eastman Renew plasticizers | Eastman
Eastman 168 Renew non-phthalate plasticizer, for example, delivers the same rheological properties as legacy Eastman 168, the long-standing standard in safety and performance. That’s because Eastman 168 Renew is identical in chemical makeup, performance, and regulatory certifications to Eastman 168. This “no-change change” toward
Phthalate and novel plasticizer concentrations in food items
Background. Fast food consumption is associated with biomarkers of ortho-phthalates exposures. However, the chemical content of fast food is unknown; certain ortho-phthalates (i.e., di-n-butyl
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer by decreasing the viscosity of the polymer melt. Most common plasticiser chemistries include citrates, benzoates, ortho-phthalates, terephthalates, adipates, azelates, sebacates, and trimellitates. Plasticizers are the most common additives used in the plastics industry.
Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
Overall, phthalates will continue to exhibit modest growth. For example, DINP will experience growth throughout the world. World consumption of phthalate plasticizers is forecast to grow moderatley during 2025–25. Nonphthalate plasticizers are not based on phthalic acid, and have a different chemical structure and toxicological profile.
Market Report Plasticizers: Industry Analysis | 2025-2032
The following plasticizer types are considered in detail: DEHP, DINP and DIDP, other phthalates, plasticizers without phthalates. The market report examines the various areas of application for plasticizers: profiles, films, cables, floorings, other plastics, elastomers, paints and coatings, adhesives.
- What are non phthalate plasticizers?
- DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate plasticizers are shown below.
- Are phthalate plasticizers safe?
- However, the phthalate content in plasticizer is known to be toxic to humans. Therefore, its use is prohibited in wallpapers, flooring materials, toys and many other products. Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) plasticizers are used as an alternative, but done so at the expense of product quality.
- Are plasticizers safe?
- Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well. DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys.
- Are there alternative plasticizers?
- There are a considerable number of alternative plasticizers in employment, without any toxicological data available (dibutyl adipate, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and bis-2-ethylhexyl sebacate, to name a few).
- How many chemicals can be used as plasticizers?
- There are about 30 000 chemicals can potentially be utilized as plasticizers. (1) Phthalate plasticizers are a commonly utilized compound, comprising up to 85% of the total plasticizers in the market.
- Are hydrogen-added plasticizers eco-friendly?
- As the production of eco-friendly plasticizers require advanced technology, the barrier to entry is high and its key strengths and strong value proposition assures there is no concern for oversupply. The hydrogen-added plasticizer is currently being manufactured by only two companies in the world: BASF and EVONIK.
