  • What are plasticizers used for?
  • Plasticizers are the major functional additives transforming the physical properties of polymers such as PVC, PU, acrylic, nitrile and rubbers to create a whole world of flexible and durable finished articles for high demanding applications. The world plasticizer consumption was around 7.82 million MT in 2017, up nearly 25% over 6 years .
  • Can plasticizers be used in PVC?
  • Plasticizers are particularly useful in PVC, but can be used in other polymers such as synthetic rubbers, synthetic rubber derivatives and other polar polymers such as polystyrene and ABS.
  • Why do plasticizers soften polymer compounds?
  • Plasticizers soften polymer compounds in order to improve processing, lower compound viscosity and increase the flexibility of polymer compounds. Because there is a wide range of chemicals used as processing aids and plasticizers, the individual properties of each compounding material can differ greatly.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 .
