  • What are non phthalate plasticizers?
  • DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate plasticizers are shown below.
  • Are phthalate plasticizers chemically bonded to polymer chains?
  • However, phthalate plasticizers such as DOP are not chemically bonded to polymer chains, allowing them to easily detach from objects, resulting in human exposure through inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact , .
  • Is pevalen a phthalate plasticizer?
  • Perstorp launched Pevalen, a true non-phthalate plasticizer in 2014 as a premium performance alternative to phthalates, especially in sensitive and close-to-people applications where health concerns were, and are, in focus.
  • Why are plasticizers used in PVC?
  • Plasticizers are added to hard and brittle polymers, such as PVC, resulting in low melt viscosity, low glass transition temperature (Tg), low elastic modulus, and better elongation of the blends , . Over the last decade, phthalate plasticizers have accounted for more than 85% of the total plasticizer consumption in PVC processing , .
  • Does a plasticizer make PVC more flexible?
  • A plasticizer makes the PVC material more flexible. Flexibility is demonstrated by a decrease in the yield strength and tensile modulus and an increase in the elongation at break. The stress–strain curves of PVC and its blends are shown in Fig. 5 and summarized in Table 3.
  • Is alkyl-HPG a viable alternative plasticizer for flexible PVC?
  • Alkyl-HPG was well miscible with PVC, and PVC plasticized with alkyl-HPG exhibited excellent flexibility, toughness, and thermal stability. Therefore, alkyl-HPG is expected to be promising as a commercially-available and sustainable alternative plasticizer for flexible PVC production.
