  • Are plasticizers considered softeners?
  • Plasticizers are often referred to as softeners. In the 1920’s, researchers discovered that many esters of the polycarboxylic acid group, such as phthalic acid and phosphoric acid, were able to react with high polymers to form a homogeneous physical compound.
  • What is a nonsolvent plasticizer?
  • So, they are called true plasticizers or primary plasticizers. If only amorphous areas are penetrated, the compound acts as a nonsolvent plasticizer. Also called a secondary plasticizer or softener. These softeners sometimes work as diluents for primary plasticizers.
  • 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.
  • What are plasticisers used for?
  • Plasticisers are added to polymers for the manufacturing of plastics. They are mostly used in PVC, but a significant amount is also used in other polymers like acrylics, polypropylene or polypropene (PP), polyethylene or polythene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyurethanes.
  • 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.
  • What are plasticisers and what are phthalates?
  • Plasticisers, also known as softeners, are chemical additives used to make plastics or rubbers softer and more flexible. Phthalates are a well known type of plasticisers.
