  • What are the different types of plasticizers?
  • Phthalates are the most common type of plasticizers. Among them, phthalate DEHP (Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) is widely used due to its excellent performance characteristics. Phthalates are known for their effectiveness in increasing the flexibility and longevity of paint, making them ideal for applications where durability is essential.
  • What is a plasticizer & how does it work?
  • A plasticizer is a substance incorporated into materials, such as paints, to increase their flexibility and durability. These additives work by embedding themselves between the polymer chains in the paint, reducing the intermolecular forces and lowering the glass transition temperature. This results in a more pliable and elastic material.
  • How many plasticizers are used a year?
  • There are over 8 million tons of plasticizers used each year, and most of those are added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Consider PVC for a moment - it ranges from a hard, rigid, brittle material used in water and sewer pipes, but it's also used to make shower curtains, flexible tubes, and cable covers.
  • What percentage of plasticizers are made from phthalate esters?
  • Businesses that produce and sell this material account for between 80 and 90 percent of the plasticizer market, according to IHS Markit. Phthalate esters are the most common plasticizer types, accounting for 65 percent of all the plasticizer products sold in 2017.
  • Are plasticizers colorless?
  • Plasticized plastics maintain their color, as most commercial-grade plasticizers are colorless ("water white"). Avoid using colored plasticizers to prevent undesirable coloration in flexible PVC compositions. Select 30+ plasticizers offering color stability in our database. Plasticizers prevent the development of microcracks in the polymer matrix.
  • What are natural product type plasticizers?
  • Vegetable oil derivatives are the most widely used natural product type plasticizers. Products consisting of triglyceride esters of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil) in which the double bonds in the fatty acid residues have typically been epoxidized have been commercial products for decades.
