  • Which glycerol derivative is used as a secondary plasticizer?
  • Secondary plasticizers are additives which, when combined with the primary plasticizers, can improve the properties of the final material [ 29 ]. In the present work, a glycerol derivative (triacetin—TAG) was used as PVC secondary plasticizer.
  • What are the latest advances in polymer additives?
  • More specifically, recent advances in antimicrobial, antioxidants, thermal stabilizers, processing aids, plasticizers and other polymer additives are reviewed and classified in terms of sources and polymer application.
  • What additives are used in plastic formulations?
  • Typically, plasticizers, fillers, and flame retardants (FRs) are used at high weight fractions in plastic formulations and, therefore, account for about three- quarters of all additives produced. Other additives, such as antioxidants and light stabi-lizers, are used at much lower loadings.
  • Can Saudi Arabia produce synthetic fuel from plastics?
  • In any case, according to our estimations, given the low recycling capacity of Saudi Arabia, the current capacity for synthetic fuel production from plastics in the Kingdom is approximately 20 Kboe/d, with the potential to reach almost 125 Kboe/d in 2060. By 2040, that potential could reach 67.5 Kb/d (Figure 7).
  • Can Plastic pyrolysis increase oil production in Saudi Arabia?
  • The oil production potential through plastic pyrolysis technology in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is only 12.33 Kb/d, with the possibility of reaching 124.31 Kb/d by 2060. This level is very low compared to the total oil production capacity of the country of approximately 12 MMb/d, which is planned to increase even further in the future.
  • What additives are used in PVC formulations?
  • In that sense, one of the most important additives used in PVC formulations are the plasticizers. They act as spacers between molecules of the polymer, in other words they reduce the molecular motion which increases the free volume and imparts greater mobility improving the flexibility and workability of PVC [ 9, 10 ].
