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
Interaction between vegetable oil based plasticizer molecules
Plasticizer molecules are low molecular weight compounds that are widely used in polymer industries especially in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. As an additive
Using waste poly(vinyl chloride) to synthesize chloroarenes
Abstract and Figures New approaches are needed to both reduce and reuse plastic waste. In this context, poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) is an appealing target as it is the least recycled...
The Perils of PVC Plastic Pipes — Beyond Plastics - Working
Vinyl chloride may be released into drinking water from PVC and CPVC pipes at levels below EPA’s legal safe drinking water limit, but at levels of potential health concern. Researchers have documented vinyl chloride in tap water at low, but not insignificant, levels.
Migration of a Phthalate Ester Plasticizer from Polyvinyl
A plasticizer, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, was found to be extracted from polyvinyl chloride plastic blood bags by both human and dog blood stored at 4°C at a rate of 0.25 ± 0.03 mg per 100...
- What is polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a high-production-volume polymer with wide applications in tubing, roofing, wiring, and packaging. To enhance the bulk properties of PVC, high loadings of additives, such as plasticizers, stabilizers, and impact modifiers, are typically integrated into the polymer.
- Are polyvinyl chloride plastics a non-covalent additive?
- New thermal and mechanical characteristics observed in modified polymers Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics require high loadings of plasticizers and stabilizers to achieve commercially useful bulk properties. However, these non-covalent additives leach from PVC over time, resulting in the loss of their tailored functionality.
- Does polyvinyl chloride reduce additive migration in covalently functionalized PVC?
- Suppression of additive migration in covalently functionalized PVC New thermal and mechanical characteristics observed in modified polymers Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics require high loadings of plasticizers and stabilizers to achieve commercially useful bulk properties.
- How to upcycle waste polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- The upcycling of waste polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a grand challenge because of the unmanageable Cl species. Here, we develop a Cl-transfer strategy to upcycle waste PVC into value-added organic chlorides and PE-like polymer with various Cl acceptors (tetrahydrofuran, dibutyl ether and butanol) over Ru/Al 2 O 3 catalyst.
- Can polychlorinated materials be plasticized?
- This methodology establishes a new approach to plasticization of polychlorinated materials. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics require high loadings of plasticizers and stabilizers to achieve commercially useful bulk properties. However, these non-covalent additives leach from PVC over time, resulting in the loss of their tailored functionality.
- Is polyvinyl chloride a green plastic?
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is widely used as a commodity plastic in various industries and daily life. However, its green development is limited due to the fact that most plasticizers are either toxic or derived from food products.
