  • Which plasticizers are used in flexible PVC products?
  • The conventional petroleum-derived plasticizers used in many flexible PVC products are phthalate esters (also known as “phthalates”). The literature reported that phthalates represent more than 85% of world plasticizers production, of which 90% is annually used in PVC manufacturing .
  • Is polyvinylchloride plasticized with a natural polymeric plasticizer?
  • da Silva MA, Vieira MGA, Maçumoto ACG, Beppu MM (2011) Polyvinylchloride (PVC) and natural rubber films plasticized with a natural polymeric plasticizer obtained through polyesterification of rice fatty acid. Polym Testing 30:478–484
  • 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.
  • Why is PVC mixed with non-toxic plasticizers?
  • PVC has been mixed with non-toxic plasticizers obtained from renewable resources to prevent leaching of plasticizers, minimize deterioration of properties, and respond to environmental concerns. Natural–based PVC plasticizers increased over the last few years owing to the following advantages:
  • Are plasticizers environmentally friendly?
  • Four environmentally friendly plasticizer samples were obtained; their chemical structures and compositions were confirmed by gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR) analyses, and their physicochemical properties and thermal stability (TGA analysis) were investigated.
  • Are PVC blends plasticized?
  • PVC blends were plasticized with commercially available plasticizers, i.e., DINP (Jayflex, ExxonMobil, Machelen, Belgium), DEHP (Oxoplast O30, Grupa Azoty ZAK S.A., Kędzierzyn-Koźle, Poland), and with plasticizers synthesized (Samples 1, 2, 3, and 4) in this work.
