  • What are ASTM plastics standards?
  • ASTM's plastics standards are instrumental in specifying, testing, and assessing the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of a wide variety of materials and products that are made of plastic and its polymeric derivatives.
  • What are plasticizers and polymer additives?
  • Our lab is prepared to produce what you need. Plasticizers and polymer additives are widely used to improve the manufacture and performance of materials in desired end products. In some countries certain plasticizers, mainly phthalates, are banned, as these substances are suspected of causing a wide range of health issues.
  • What is the most used additive in plastics?
  • Plasticizers are the most used additive in plastics. DOP is currently the most widely used plasticizer, ~70% of the total consumption of plasticizers. In China, the annual consumption is close to 1 million tons.
  • Are primary plasticizers good for Environmental Protection?
  • Currently, the performance of primary plasticizers produced in China cannot fully satisfy the requirements for environmental protection, especially poor cleanliness and high toxicity. DOP and dioctyl adipate (DOA), especially the former, are the plasticizers widely used in PVC-based food wrap and packaging.
  • What are the technical barriers to non-toxic plasticizer production?
  • Currently, the production of environmentally friendly, non-toxic plasticizers is facing two major technical barriers: (1) diverse side products and low yield; and (2) low production volume and high cost [135, 136].
  • Which plastics additive is most consumed in China?
  • Plasticizers are the most consumed plastics additive. Phthalate plasticizers are the dominant type in this field and occupy >80% of the total consumption in China, of which 70% is di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) [23, 24, 25].
