  • What is the most widely used plasticizer in China?
  • 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. In recent years, the medicine, food packaging, daily supplies, and toys industries have raised more stringent requirements to plasticizers.
  • What will China's plasticizer industry look like in the future?
  • This will be the major task for Chinese plasticizer and soft PVC industries in the future. Phthalate plasticizers will still be the dominant type and production volume globally in the future, but those of long-chain (C 9 –C 10) alcohol-based esters and non-phthalate plasticizers will increase largely.
  • Why do biopolymers use plasticizers?
  • The incorporation of additives such as plasticizers into the biopolymers is a common practice to improve these inherent limitations. Generally, plasticizers are added to both synthetic and bio-based polymeric materials to impart flexibility, improve toughness, and lower the glass transition temperature.
  • Why are plasticizers important for PVC articles?
  • Plasticizers are the most important additive for PVC articles. The total production of plasticizers in China has reached 3 million tons per annum in 2011. Traditional phthalate plasticizers are the major products, ~80% of the overall use. Recently, phthalate plasticizers have been found toxic to infants, fetus, and reproductive systems.
  • What should be done to advance the plasticizer industry?
  • High attention should be paid to science and technology to push the advancement of the plasticizer industry. Industrial associations will be used as the platform to perform key research tasks.
  • How to avoid plasticizer accidents?
  • Market specialization driven by the application fields is an important measure to avoid plasticizers “accidents”. In addition to increasing the production volume, Chinese plasticizer producers should also investigate the compatibility of different plasticizers in plastic articles. Choose the lesser of two evils and the better of two goods.
