Plasticizer Product Portfolio There has been a need for plasticizers ever since PVC (polyvinylchloride) was patented in 1913. In its unmodified state, PVC is rigid and brittle. Plasticizers are used to make the material soft and flexible. BASF has been a leader in the market for plasticizers and raw materials throughout the history of flexible PVC.
Hexamoll DINCH
Hexamoll DINCH is a colorless, clear and practically anhydrous liquid with a hardly noticeable odor. It is soluble in the usual organic solvents and is miscible and compatible with all of the monomeric plasticizers commonly used in PVC. Hexamoll DINCH is almost insoluble in water.
Plasticizers for the PVC industry are now also ...
With Hexamoll DINCH Ccycled TM, BASF additionally launched its trusted non-phthalate plasticizer based on chemically recycled feedstock. In the manufacturing process, BASF uses pyrolysis oil obtained from previously non-recycled plastic waste instead of fossil resources at the beginning of the value chain.

Hexamoll DINCH is a colorless, clear and practically anhydrous liquid with a hardly noticeable odor. It is soluble in the usual organic solvents and is miscible and compatible with all of the monomeric plasticizers commonly used in PVC. Hexamoll DINCH is almost insoluble in water.
Plasticizers
Plasticizers from BASF BASF is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of plasticizers. BASF offers a broad product portfolio of plasticizers for standard as well as special applications, such as toys and medical devices. Plasticizers give flexibility to PVC products such as cables or films.
- What is Hexamoll ® DINCH?
- Versatile non-phthalate plasticizer for PVC and other polar polymers, specially intended for use in applications that involve intimate human contact is the non-phthalate plasticizer especially developed for applications for close human contact. Hexamoll ® DINCH is a colorless, clear and practically anhydrous liquid with a hardly noticeable odor.
- Why is Hexamoll ® DINCH a good plasticizer?
- BASF has invested more than €7 million in toxicological research for Hexamoll ® DINCH thus far. Thanks to its excellent toxicological profile and the low migration rate, the plasticizer is approved and certified by many authorities and institutions worldwide. In addition, Hexamoll ® DINCH sets high standards with regard to sustainability.
- Is Hexamoll DINCH toxic?
- BASF developed a non-phthalate named Hexamoll® DINCH- a plasticizer that has an excellent toxicological profile and offers a well-balanced set of properties. Evaluations of toxicological studies and risk assessments by competent authorities conclude that there is no risk associated to exposure from toys made with Hexamoll® DINCH.
- Can Hexamoll® DINCH be used with polar polymers?
- Hexamoll® DINCH is suitable for use with PVC and other polar polymers. It is compatible with all of the monomeric plasticizers commonly used in PVC. In most cases, only minor formulation and processing parameter adjustments are required to process flexible PVC compounds.
- Why did BASF double the production capacity of Hexamoll DINCH?
- The steadily growing market demand has made BASF double the annual production capacity of Hexamoll DINCH to 200,000 tons in Ludwigshafen, Germany in 2014. “We are very confident about the market prospect for alternative plasticizers, especially in sensitive applications.
- Is Hexamoll ® DINCH soluble in water?
- It is soluble in the usual organic solvents and is miscible and compatible with all of the monomeric plasticizers commonly used in PVC. Hexamoll ® DINCH is almost insoluble in water. Hexamoll ® DINCH is the non-phthalate plasticizer specially developed for applications with close human contact.
