  • Is pevalen a sustainable plasticizer?
  • All photos courtesy of Perstorp Group Swedish chemicals company Perstorp Group has introduced a new, more sustainable grade of PVC plasticizer. Pevalen Pro 100 features 100 percent renewable carbon content based on mass balance, applying chemical and physical traceability.
  • Can plasticizers replace petroleum-based plasticizer in PVC applications?
  • Compared to DINP and DEHP, the migration was as much as 70% lower for each plasticizer concentration. Thus, due to their good compatibility, efficiency and thermal properties, the plasticizers synthesized in this research have the potential to replace petroleum-based plasticizers in PVC applications.
  • What materials are used to make plasticizers?
  • The plasticizers used in this study were synthesized from renewable raw materials using succinic acid, oleic acid, and propylene glycol.
  • Which plasticizers are used for soft PVC?
  • Mechanical properties and migration resistance were determined for soft PVC with the use of three concentrations of plasticizers (40 PHR, 50 PHR, and 60 PHR).
  • What are plasticizers used for?
  • Plasticizers are an important class of compounds widely used as additives in the polymer industry to improve properties and polymer processing [ 1, 2 ]. There are used in many polymers, but the flexible poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) industry accounts for more than 90% of plasticizer sales by volume [ 3 ].
  • Which PVC plasticizer is best for biodegradation?
  • DHS was found to be the best PVC plasticizer, which is a compromise between longer molecules favorable for plasticization and shorter molecules favorable for biodegradation.
