  • What are the most common plasticizer types?
  • Phthalate esters are the most common plasticizer types, accounting for 65 percent of all the plasticizer products sold in 2017. These assets center on alcohol and phthalic acid, which combine with plastic polymers to reduce rigidity and support optimal chain flexibility.
  • What is a plasticizer?
  • A plasticizer is a non-volatile substance incorporated in a plastic or elastomer. It changes the thermal and mechanical properties of the material. The expected property changes in a plasticized plastic or elastomer are as follows: Plasticization is classified into two main groups such as internal and external.
  • Are plasticizers compatible with polymers?
  • They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear. A secondary plasticizer is one that typically cannot be used as the sole plasticizer in a plasticized polymer.
  • Are polymeric plasticizers adipates?
  • These plasticizers are generally classified as polyesters, not adipates. Many have low solvency for PVC and high viscosity. Both these factors can make processing f-PVC compounds difficult. Many have poor low-temperature properties and may be sensitive to moisture. Check out the table below for the benefits of polymeric plasticizers.
  • What are bio based plasticizers?
  • As the name says, biobased plasticizers are majorly based on: Few more plasticizers are based on renewably sourced isosorbides and alkanoic acids. Isosorbide diesters are a non-toxic alternative to phthalates. They offer promising properties to PVC.
  • What are natural product type plasticizers?
  • Vegetable oil derivatives are the most widely used natural product type plasticizers. Products consisting of triglyceride esters of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil) in which the double bonds in the fatty acid residues have typically been epoxidized have been commercial products for decades.
