  • Which phthalate is used as a plasticizer for PVC?
  • DTDP is the highest weight dialkyl phthalate to be used as a plasticizer. It was widely used as a high temperature plasticizer for PVC until trimellitates came into existence. It needs high processing temperatures for compounding with PVC. Cost: Phthalates are used as PVC plasticizers since the earliest days of flexible PVC.
  • What are phthalate plasticizers used for?
  • In electrical and electronic applications, they are used for insulating wires and cables. Phthalate plasticizers are widely used in vinyl-based building materials. These include floorings and wall coverings. They provide them with flexibility and durability.
  • Are phthalate plasticizers covalently bound to PVC?

  • How to choose a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC?
  • While selecting a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC, the main attributes to be checked are: Among them, regulation is an important decision factor while selecting plasticizers. In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on phthalate plasticizers. But in fact, not all phthalates are prohibited.
  • Is -caprolactone a nonmigrating plasticizer for phthalates in flexible PVC?
  • Toxicological Sciences. 71 (2), 146–153 (2003). Choi, J. & Kwak, S. Y. Hyperbranched poly (ε-caprolactone) as a nonmigrating alternative plasticizer for phthalates in flexible PVC. Environmental science & technology. 41 (10), 3763–3768 (2007).
  • Why do we use plasticizers in PVC tubing?
  • Plasticizers are essential to make PVC flexible. PVC is naturally rigid, but plasticizers are added to make the tubing flexible and expandable while retaining its shape. DEHP is widely used because it is low cost, processes well, and has provided good end-use performance.
