  • Will Uzbekistan become a major global player in chemicals & gas?
  • Uzbekistan’s expansion into a major global player in chemicals and gas is one step closer to fruition. As the Ministry of Energy sets its sights on diversifying the nation’s economy and moving away from being a net importer of commodities such as polymer products, the Gas Chemical Complex MTO is at the heart of the move.
  • What are plasticizers used for?
  • This publication is licensed for personal use by The American Chemical Society. Plasticizers are synthetic chemicals that are commonly used in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) based products, food packaging, children’s toys, medical devices, and adhesives. There are about 30 000 chemicals can potentially be utilized as plasticizers.
  • Which plasticizers are used for bio-based plastics?
  • Although a wide variety of bio-based plastics are under development, this review focuses on plasticizers utilized for the most extensively studied bioplastics including poly (lactic acid), polyhydroxyalkanoates, thermoplastic starch, proteinaceous plastics and cellulose acetates.
  • How many chemicals can be used as plasticizers?
  • There are about 30 000 chemicals can potentially be utilized as plasticizers. (1) Phthalate plasticizers are a commonly utilized compound, comprising up to 85% of the total plasticizers in the market.
  • What are the technical barriers to non-toxic plasticizer production?
  • Currently, the production of environmentally friendly, non-toxic plasticizers is facing two major technical barriers: (1) diverse side products and low yield; and (2) low production volume and high cost [135, 136].
  • Are primary plasticizers good for Environmental Protection?
  • Currently, the performance of primary plasticizers produced in China cannot fully satisfy the requirements for environmental protection, especially poor cleanliness and high toxicity. DOP and dioctyl adipate (DOA), especially the former, are the plasticizers widely used in PVC-based food wrap and packaging.
