  • What is the most used additive in plastics?
  • Plasticizers are the most used additive in plastics. DOP is currently the most widely used plasticizer, ~70% of the total consumption of plasticizers. In China, the annual consumption is close to 1 million tons.
  • What are typical impurities in plasticizers?
  • Typical impurities may be residual alcohols and ethers, acetals, and other esters formed during the esterification process. Most of the plasticizers covered in this review have a typical assay ranging from 99.8 to 99.9% for the main component.
  • Why are linoleic acids used as plasticizers?
  • Oleic and linoleic acids were added as plasticizers resulting in flexible sheets of high clarity, low modulus, and high elongation and toughness, although low tensile strength. Fatty acid separation caused zein aggregation, resulting in loss of flexibility and increased water absorption.
  • Which plastics additive is most consumed in China?
  • Plasticizers are the most consumed plastics additive. Phthalate plasticizers are the dominant type in this field and occupy >80% of the total consumption in China, of which 70% is di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) [23, 24, 25].
  • Why are plasticizers important in biopolymer-based films & coatings production?
  • In biopolymer-based films and coatings production, plasticizers are also essential additives since they can improve flexibility and handling of films, maintain integrity and avoid pores and cracks in the polymeric matrix .
  • How big is the plasticizer industry in China?
  • After several tens of years, the plasticizer industry in China has grown to a relatively large scale. Currently, China has the largest plasticizer production and consumption in Asia, with a capacity of 2.2 million tons, an actual volume of 1.3 million tons, and an apparent consumption of 1.7 million tons.
