  • What is a plasticizer chemistry?
  • Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
  • What are plasticizers & how do they work?
  • Plasticizers are non-volatile organic substances (mainly liquids) added into a plastic or elastomer. They are also usually cheaper than other additives. They improve the following properties of the polymers: Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer.
  • What are the different types of plasticizers?
  • There are two main groups of plasticizers: Internal plasticizers are part of the PVC molecule (where a second monomer is copolymerized into the polymer structure). Internal plasticizers have generally too narrow of a temperature processing range to be useful. This is why external plasticizers are the most important commercially.
  • Which plasticizers are the most important commercially?
  • This is why external plasticizers are the most important commercially. External plasticizers can be monomeric or polymeric. Examples for polymeric plasticizers are EVA, CPE, NBR and terpolymers or polyesters mainly based on adipic acid, diols and mono alcohols.
  • Are plasticizers compatible with polymers?
  • They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear. A secondary plasticizer is one that typically cannot be used as the sole plasticizer in a plasticized polymer.
  • 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 .
