  • What are plastic additives?
  • Plastic/polymer additives are chemical substances added during the plastic production process to improve the characteristics of the plastic in terms of performance, processability, and appearance. Common plastic additives include plasticizers, stabilizers, antioxidants, UV absorbers, fillers, and more.
  • Is there a global database for plastic additives?
  • ظ Transparency: There is no global database listing specific additives used in plastic (and other) products, though there is an ECHA high-volume plastic additive initiative.
  • Are plastic additives a global problem?
  • Some plastic additives have been restricted globally through mechanisms such as the Stockholm Convention. ICCA recognizes that the leakage of plastic pollution into the environment is a critical global problem. The chemicals and plastics industry strongly supports the creation of a global agreement to accelerate action to address this issue.
  • Which additives are polymerised with plastic molecules?
  • Only the reactive organic additives, e.g. some flame retardants, are polymerised with the plastic molecules and are becoming part of the polymer chain. It should, also, be noted that substances used as monomers, intermediates or catalysts in plastic manufacturing are not considered to be additives and therefore have not been included in Table 1.
  • What are UV-resistant additives for plastics?
  • Common UV-resistant additives for plastics: â‘  Absorbing UV Additives: These additives can absorb ultraviolet light and convert it into heat energy, thereby preventing the oxidative reaction of UV light on plastics. Common absorbing UV additives include phenols, benzophenones, and benzimidazoles.
  • Are chemical additives leachable from plastic products?
  • ظ Leachability: There are concerns that chemical additives may leach from plastic products, posing risks to human health and the environment. Research is underway by industry and others to explore additive leachability and bioaccessibility.
