  • What are non phthalate plasticizers?
  • DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate plasticizers are shown below.
  • Is Perstorp a breakthrough in non-phthalate plasticizers?
  • Perstorp, based in Malmö, terms the development “a significant advancement in non-phthalate plasticizers.” It says the additive –– with its innovative chemical composition –– sets a new benchmark in the industry of flexible PVC.
  • What is the best non-Phthalate plasticizer for PVC?
  • DOTP from Eastman has been available for several decades as Eastman 168, and the company claims it is the market-leading non-phthalate plasticizer for PVC, offering performance equal to or better than most non-phthalates. It offers good performance properties, optimal low-temperature flexibility, and non-migration properties.
  • How many plastic additives are there?
  • There are approximately 10,000 chemicals categorized as ‘plastic additives’, with 95% of them belonging to the categories of plasticizers (70%) and FRs (25%). The concentrations of additives in the final plastic material vary between 0.001 and 50.0% (w/w).
  • How many plastic additives are there in the EU?
  • This number is much higher than previous studies because of the broader scope, whereas earlier studies have focused on plastic packaging (4'000 substances) (13) and plastic additives with registered tonnages above 100 t/yr in the EU (400 substances).
  • What are the benefits of non-phthalate plasticizers?
  • This general-purpose non-phthalate boasts high efficiency and requires less plasticizer in most formulations. Low migration and volatility, along with excellent UV stability, are claimed. It is also said to blend faster and easier with PVC than most other plasticizers, which reduces processing time.
