  • Is Perstorp a breakthrough in non-phthalate plasticizers?
  • Perstorp, based in Malmö, terms the development “a significant advancement in non-phthalate plasticizers.” It says the additive –– with its innovative chemical composition –– sets a new benchmark in the industry of flexible PVC.
  • Are plasticizers phthalate or non phthalates?
  • Plasticizers are usually grouped into phthalates and non-phthalates. Phthalates still represent the majority in the European plasticizer market, at around 60% . However, since the end of the 1990s there has been a steady shift within the phthalate plasticizers from LMW phthalates toward HMW phthalates .
  • Are natural resource-based plasticizers better than phthalates in PVC production?
  • Recently, there has been an increased consciousness of the use of natural resource-based plasticizers instead of phthalates in PVC production, because they are eco-friendly in nature.
  • What phthalates are used in plasticizers?
  • Plasticizers—particularly phthalates (PAEs), like di- (2ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di- iso -nonyl phthalate (DiNP), and di- n -butyl phthalate (DBP) are the most prevalent industrial chemicals applied to consumer products to increase flexibility, transparency, durability and lifespan , .
  • Which phthalates dominate the plasticizer market?
  • Chemical management varies considerably between regions and on a global scale. DEHP still dominates the plasticizer market . Therefore, target analytes were often restricted to DEHP and other LMW phthalates. House dust samples in China, for example, were strongly dominated by DEHP and DBP .
  • Do non-phthalates contribute to plasticizer burden in aquatic environments?
  • Recent investigations on plasticizer levels in sediments from non-industrial coastal areas in Korea are in good agreement with our data and confirm a low proportion of non-phthalates (3–10%) of the total plasticizer burden in aquatic environments [78, 85]. DINP and DEHP were the main phthalates.
