  • Are phthalates still used in PVC plasticizers?
  • Phthalates were first appeared in 1920 and soon dominated the market of PVC plasticizers . Until now, phthalates, such as di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), also known as dioctyl phthalate (DOP), are still the most used commercial PVC plasticizer, occupying over 70% of the market .
  • What is phthalate based plasticizer?
  • Many plasticizers are used to improve the performance of PVC. Among these commercial plasticizers, phthalate based plasticizers play an important part, 14–16 and phthalate esters are a class of these plasticizers.
  • Are natural resource-based plasticizers better than phthalates in PVC production?
  • Recently, there has been an increased consciousness of the use of natural resource-based plasticizers instead of phthalates in PVC production, because they are eco-friendly in nature.
  • What is a non Phthalate plasticizer?
  • True non-phthalate plasticizer. High plasticizing efficiency enables faster processing and requires less material and energy. Martin Hansson, business manager for plasticizers at Perstorp, notes that the firm launched the Pevalen range in 2014 as a premium performance alternative to phthalates.
  • Why is plasticizer necessary for PVC?
  • Plasticizer is necessary for PVC to improve its flexibility . The most advanced modified PVC materials also require a large number of highly efficient plasticizers to match.
  • Are phthalate plasticizers toxic?
  • Unfortunately, phthalates are compounds that migrate easily from the polymer matrix, have toxic effects on human health, and are hazardous to the environment [ 7, 9 ]. Scientific studies have shown that phthalate plasticizers can increase the incidence of asthma, bronchitis, and cancer [ 10, 11 ].
