  • What is biovero ® plasticizer?
  • The Biovero ® plasticizer solution is derived from bio-based feedstock and includes sustainability benefits, flexibility, and high efficiency. Biovero®plasticizers are a safer plasticizer made from renewable resources that delivers increased production value, throughput, cost savings, and performance benefits.
  • What are natural based plasticizers?
  • Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the use of natural-based plasticizers that are characterized by low toxicity and low migration. This group includes epoxidized triglyceride vegetable oils from soybean oil, linseed oil, castor-oil, sunflower oil, and fatty acid esters (FAEs) .
  • Are plasticizers suitable for biodegradable thermoplastics?
  • In this respect, most of the traditional plasticizers used in synthetic polymer processing are not suitable for some biodegradable thermoplastics such as poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), reinforcing the need for further investigations and developments in this area.
  • What are biodegradable plasticizers?
  • Biodegradable plasticizers such as soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) were added to poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties. TEC or DBP presented better plasticizing effects than SO and ESO for PHBV .
  • Why do biopolymers need plasticizers?
  • However, they generally present poor mechanical properties regarding processability and end-use application, since the fragility and brittleness exhibited during thermoformation can limit their potential for application. In order to overcome this problem, plasticizers are added to provide the necessary workability to biopolymers.
  • Are biopolymers hygroscopic?
  • Usually, biopolymers and plasticizers are hygroscopic and therefore film moisture content is affected by ambient conditions. Besides, water is the main solvent in the natural biopolymer technology. Its molecules reduce the Tg and increase the free volume of biomaterials, and thus are considered as plasticizers.
