  • Which PVC material is used in plasticizers?
  • Soft or flexible PVC products like extruded soft tubing, profiles and sheeting, thin calendared sheets, etc. make use of suspension-grade PVC. Since plasticizers are dissolved in SPVC (PVC is not dissolved in plasticizers) during the mixing process, the higher the porosity of PVC grain, the higher the rate of plasticizer absorption.
  • What are the different types of PVC plasticizers?
  • 1. General purpose plasticizer [GP] - They provide the desired flexibility to PVC, overall balancing quality with a low cost. Examples are DIHP, DOP (DEHP), DINP and DIDP. They can be used along with secondary plasticizers to reduce the cost. DIDP evaporates 76% less than DOP.
  • What is an ideal plasticizer?
  • An ideal plasticizer should be: Primary plasticizers are low-volatility liquids, whose polarity is such that they are sufficiently compatible with PVC and will not be readily squeezed out of plasticized PVC by moderate pressure. They are mainly responsible for providing flexibility.
  • How much plasticizer is consumed in the world?
  • The world plasticizer consumption was around 7.82 million MT in 2017, up nearly 25% over 6 years . Ceresana forecasts that global demand for all plasticizers will increase to about 9.75 million MT in 2024 . Over 90% of the plasticizers are consumed in flexible PVC applications .
  • What is flexible PVC used for?
  • Flexible PVC today often replaces rubber in plumbing, electrical cable insulation, imitation leather, signage and inflatable products. Mainly used for PVC, plasticizers improve the flexibility and durability of plastic end products. They also act as softeners, extenders and lubricants.
  • Which PVC resin is used for plastisols and Organosols?
  • Therefore, K-67 Suspension PVC resins are used for soft PVC products and K-70 or K-73 suspension PVC resins are used for very soft PVC products. On the other hand, for plastisols and organosols, emulsion and micro-suspension grade PVC is used.
