Plasticizers Derived from Biomass Resources: A Short Review.
Polyester plasticizer also has the characteristics of low toxicity and safety. It is suitable for application in the fields with high health and safety requirements for plastic products such as beverage hoses, interior decoration, children’s toys, wire and cable.
GLOBINEX W-1810-BIO 100% Biomass-Based Polyester Plasticizer Earns
Tokyo, Japan—DIC Corporation announced today that in June 2025 its 100% biomass-based polyester plasticizer, GLOBINEX W-1810-BIO, was accredited as a Certified Biobased Product under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s BioPreferred Program.
Synthesis of a novel polyester plasticizer based on glyceryl monooleate
The polyester plasticizer was characterized by gel permeation chromatography, 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The plasticizing effect of PGAGMO on PVC was investigated.
Improving Processing of PET, the World’s Most Recycled Plastic
PET is the most recycled plastic in the world, at a rate of 31% in the United States and 52% in Europe. PET is the only plastic that can be identified by the #1 code within a triangular recycling arrows symbol. PET can be commercially recycled by washing and re-melting, or by chemically breaking it down to its component materials to make new
DIC Develops 100% Biomass-Derived Polyester Plasticizer
Oct. 1, 2025. Tokyo, Japan– DIC Corporation announced that it has developed a new polyester plasticizer derived entirely from biomass resources that has earned the “Biomass 100%” Biomass Mark,* a designation certifying that a product is made entirely with biomass under the Japan Organics Recycling Association (JORA)’s Biomass Mark
- What is a polymeric plasticizer?
- Polymeric polyester plasticizers may be used in higher-performance applications where superior plasticizer non-volatility and fluid chemical extraction resistance are critical. Polymeric plasticizers are produced by reacting a dibasic carboxylic acid with a glycol or a mixture of different dibasic glycols.
- What are polyester plasticizers used for?
- Polyester plasticizers are plasticizers for PVC plastics. Because of good resistance to oil and great migration-resistance to PS and ABS plastic, they are often used in non-migrating wire jackets/insulation, adhesive tapes, gaskets, tapes or oil-resistant pipes or gloves. In addition, they can be used for rubber.
- How are polymeric plasticizers produced?
- Polymeric plasticizers are produced by reacting a dibasic carboxylic acid with a glycol or a mixture of different dibasic glycols. When the molecules are reacted, the chain propagation or building may be terminated by the use of monofunctional carboxylic acids or alcohols. Some polymeric plasticizers are also produced using no terminator.
- Are plasticizers suitable for elastomers and high-temperature polymers?
- Plasticizers commonly used for the traditional and the high-temperature polymers are extractable, incompatible or too volatile. This paper provides information on plasticizers that are designed for traditional elastomers and high-performance polymers.
- Are polymeric elastomers permanent?
- Polymeric Esters Permanence - The permanence of a polymeric plasticizer in an elastomer compound depends upon three major factors that include structure, molecular weight/viscosity and polarity. Polymerics composed of branched structures are more permanent, especially in applications requiring migration and extraction resistance.
- Which plasticizer is best?
- The high degree of saturation and potential crystalline character severely limit the choice of plasticizers. After several screening evaluations, a plasticizer that did show some compatibility advantages was a polyester glutarate (G-24,000). This plasticizer has a molecular weight of 5,000.
