The plasticizer market: an assessment of traditional
The plasticizer industry has grown with the use of plastics worldwide. Recent plasticizer research has focused on technological challenges including leaching, migration, evaporation and degradation of plasticizers, each of which eventually lead to deterioration of thermomechanical properties in plastics.

- What is the global demand for plasticizers?
- By 1999, the global demand for plasticizers had increased to 10.1 billion pounds, worth about US $7 billion, while the total plasticizer demand in North America was 2.2 billion pounds . Europe, North America, and Japan are currently the major consumers of plasticizers, and account for 28, 22, and 10% of the global demand, respectively.
- How to improve the health and environmental issues concerning plasticizers?
- The use of environmentally-benign plasticizers is another way to improve the health and environmental issues concerning plasticizers. Among the number of factors that decide the feasibility of a substance to be used as a plasticizer, toxicological information is an increasingly important one.
- Are polymeric plasticizers a good choice?
- They can be designed so that they are highly compatible with the host polymer, and leaching and volatility issues have been significantly improved over traditional plasticizers. However, polymeric plasticizers are usually expensive and have lower plasticizing efficiency than most traditional plasticizers.
- What is a plasticizer used for?
- This particular plasticizer is characterized by good migration resistance and high thermal stability. Plastic moldings, cable sheathing and cords with a wide range of hardness and elasticity can be produced using this plasticizer. 4.1.3. Alternative plasticizers
- Why are flexible plasticizers limited in their end use?
- Most flexible plastics are limited in their end use because plasticizers are generally low-to-medium MW chemicals with measurable vapor pressure below their boiling points.
- What is the role of plasticizers in polymers?
- The primary role of plasticizers is to improve the flexibility and processability of polymers by lowering the second order transition temperature . Plasticizers are actually low molecular weight (MW) resins or liquids, which form secondary bonds to polymer chains and spread them apart.
