Plasticizers for the PVC industry are now also available
“The mass balance approach enables us to process renewable and recycled feedstocks together with fossil raw materials in our existing efficient production network and to allocate their share to specific products,” explains Diana Brunnenkant, Head of Marketing Plasticizers EMEA. “The principle is similar to that of green electricity.
Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
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 (tubing, blood bags).

PVC plasticizer is a material added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to increase its flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity. Without plasticizers, PVC would be brittle, inflexible, and too fragile for most practical applications. This material is added to PVC in a process called plasticization, which makes the PVC more pliable and durable.

PVC Plasticizers can also have effects on resistance to chemical attack extraction, good sub-zero temperature properties, electrical properties, lubrication properties during processing, etc. It is important to use the grade that best suits your final product and your production process.

Structure Design, Performance Simulation and Plasticizing
Plasticizer is an important assistant in the production process of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which can effectively improve the plasticity of PVC. However, the durability and plasticizing effect of traditional phthalate plasticizers need to be further improved. In this paper, a variety of copolyesters are designed and synthesized from succinic acid, hexanediol and other four different diols
- Where are mexiflex® plasticizers made?
- Under the brand MEXIFLEX®, we produce plasticizers for PVC compounds at our facility in Altamira (Mexico). We also produce phthalic anhydride. Vertical integration allows us the flexibility to manage the supply chain. It also gives us the innovative ability to create materials to our exact specifications.
- What types of plastics are produced in Mexico?
- Primary plastics PET, PVC, and HDPE make up nearly half of Mexico’s total plastic resins production. A large variety of secondary and tertiary plastic materials, including PP film, PVC pipe and fittings, laminates, and acrylic materials, are also produced.
- How much plastic does Mexico produce?
- According to Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía or INEGI), Mexico is estimated to produce USD $20.4 billion in plastics and resins in 2020 with exports of nearly $12 billion.
- What is Plasticized PVC used for?
- Plasticized PVC, also known as soft PVC or vinyl, is still the most commonly used thermoplastic material throughout the world for various applications. Around 90% of all Plasticizers are used in the production of flexible PVC. Some minor applications include rubber, adhesives, sealants, paints, lacquers, and lubricants.
- What are plasticizers used for?
- Plasticizers are primarily used in the production of flexible PVC, accounting for around 90% of their applications. They have minor uses in rubber, adhesives, sealants, paints, lacquers, and lubricants. To obtain soft PVC, plasticizers must have the following essential performance properties: Plasticizers are used to make PVC more flexible.
- What are plasticizers for PVC?
- Plasticizers for PVC | POLYNT, industrial manufacture of platicizers for PVC to increase flexibility and movements of pipes and cable ducts.
