  • Can phthalates be used as plasticizer additive for PVC & NBR?
  • Phthalates have been extensively used in rubbers formulation as plasticizer additive for PVC and NBR promoting processing parameters or for cost reduction. The most commonly used plasticizer in PVC compounds was di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) currently not recommend due toxicity.
  • What phthalate is used in PVC plasticizers?
  • The most widely used PVC plasticizers are phthalate esters, particularly di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), which usually represent up to 40–50% of the weight of the plastic items. Phthalates account for 80% of all plasticizer production while DEHP is responsible for over 50% of worldwide phthalate production .
  • What plasticizer is used in PVC?
  • The most commonly used plasticizer in PVC compounds was di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) currently not recommend due toxicity. DEHP is listed as prohibited to the Global Automotive Declarable Substance List (GADSL).
  • Are phthalates toxic to PVC based medical devices?
  • In flexible plasticizer PVC (P-PVC), phthalates are not chemically bound to PVC and they are released into the external environment. In particular, prolonged contact of P-PVC based medical devices with body fluids or tissues has been shown to be associated with severe health risks.
  • Are there alternatives to DEHP in plasticizing and processing PVC?
  • The alternatives need to maintain the high performance characteristics of DEHP in plasticizing and processing PVC while not inducing adverse effects on living organisms. Phthalates containing different aliphatic substituents were scrutinized first due to their structural similarities with DEHP.
  • Can hyperbranched poly (-caprolactone) be a non-migrating alternative plasticizer for phthalates?
  • Choi and Kwak reported the use of hyperbranched poly (ε-caprolactone) as a non-migrating alternative plasticizer for phthalates in flexible PVC (Fig. 4). The authors investigated the effects of some structural parameters on the efficiency of the analyzed plasticizer.
