Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
Published May 2025. Flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) accounts for 80–90% of global plasticizer consumption. Flexible PVC (and thus plasticizers) is found in the following applications: construction (flooring, wall coverings), electrical (wire and cable jacketing), consumer goods (toys, footwear, etc.), packaging, transportation (inside and outside of vehicles), furnishings, and medical uses
20250031593 Purified plasticizers, production and use
The purified aromatic esters can be produced by esterifying carboxylic acid with methyl or ethyl alcohol, separating the resulting methyl or ethyl esters from the carboxylic acid and any byproduct impurities, and then transesterifying the methyl or ethyl esters with C 4 to C 14 alcohol to produce the purified aromatic esters.

The purified aromatic esters can be produced by esterifying carboxylic acid with methyl or ethyl alcohol, separating the resulting methyl or ethyl esters from the carboxylic acid and any byproduct impurities, and then transesterifying the methyl or ethyl esters with C 4 to C 14 alcohol to produce the purified aromatic esters.
Use of Environmentally Friendly Plasticizers, Obtained by
In view of tougher environmental requirements for plasticizers (Directive 2005/60/EC) and their widespread use in the rubber industry, we have studied the effect of environmentally friendly plasticizers on the properties of tire blends. We established that it is feasible to use plasticizers in commercial tire blends that have been obtained by propane deasphalting of solvent extracts. We showed

- Is plastic pollution research growing in Argentina?
- Purpose of review Plastic pollution research has experienced exponential growth in the last decade; however, Argentina con-centrates more than 70% of their research in the last 4 years. This review compiles regional research on plastic pollution in water, soil, sediment, air and organisms in Argentina.
- Is there a standardized method for plastic pollution characterization in Argentina?
- Although there was a recent increase in scientific interest ad-dressing plastic pollution impacts in Argentina, a huge varia-tion of sampling, processing, and characterization methodol-ogies was found as there is no standardized procedure for plastic debris sampling and identification .
- How can we reduce plastic pollution in Argentinia?
- Stimulate plastic pollution research promoting the harmo-nization of methodologies. Increase awareness of plastic pollution in Argentinian citizens, while promoting new consumer cultures regard-ing our responsibility to minimize plastic waste. Facilitate communication channels between scientists and decision-makers.
- What is the impact of plastic waste in Argentina?
- The impact of plastic waste in Argentina has been progressively documented for two decades with a significant increase during the last 4 years. Specifically, research has been focused on one environmental compartment, with less than 20% addressing more than one environmental sphere simultaneously.
- What is sepia (science for plastic impact Argentina)?
- SEPIA (Science for Plastic Impact Argentina) is based on fostering the creation of appro-priate environments to strengthen the bond between different actors with a commitment to solving the plastic pollution problem. Our goal is to set a reference baseline for decision-makers, NGOs, and other academic institutions, while aiming to:
- Why is plastic litter a problem in Argentina?
- Plastic litter arising from inappropriate disposal of products is the greatest global problem caused by this contaminant. Argentina s legislation regarding plastics and plastic waste has consistently grown during the recent decades.
