Guangyuan Ruifeng New Materials - What are the types of environmentally friendly plasticizers?

Summary: Eco-friendly plasticizers refer to substances that increase the plasticity of plastics, improve the flow of resin during molding processing, and make the products flexible.

Eco-friendly plasticizers are organic substances that increase the plasticity of plastics, improve the flow of resin during molding processing, and make the products flexible. They are usually high-boiling, non-volatile viscous liquids or low-melting solids that generally do not chemically react with plastics. So what are some eco-friendly plasticizers? (Eco-friendly plasticizers)

Types of eco-friendly plasticizers include: epoxidized soybean oil, epoxidized methyl linoleate, epoxidized butyl furfuryl oleate, epoxidized butyl pupa oil, epoxidized soybean oil caprylate, 9,10-epoxystearic acid caprylate, etc. In PVC products, their plasticizing and stabilizing properties are mainly used. Epoxidized plasticizers (epoxidized oils and fats) are a type of excellent plasticizer obtained by the epoxidation reaction of natural oils and fats with organic peroxyacids. They have very low toxicity. Compared with the main plasticizers DOP and DBP, their outstanding advantages are non-toxicity, good heat resistance, and light stability. They are allowed to be used in food and medical packaging materials in many countries. (Eco-friendly plasticizers)

Eco-friendly plasticizers are classified according to their function: primary plasticizers, i.e., solvent-type plasticizers; auxiliary plasticizers, i.e., non-solvent-type plasticizers; catalyst-type plasticizers; and according to their chemical structure: phthalates, fatty acid esters, phosphates, polyesters, epoxy esters, chlorine-containing compounds, etc. Commonly used plasticizers include dibutyl phthalate (DBP), dioctyl phthalate (DOP), epoxidized soybean oil, trimethyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphate, dioctyl sebacate, chlorinated paraffin, etc. Among them, PVC is the main end-user of these plasticizers. The main applications of plasticized PVC are in wires, cables, floor and wall coverings, building materials, automobiles, and packaging materials. (Eco-friendly plasticizers)

China is still lagging in the field of eco-friendly plasticizers. In recent years, there have been repeated reports of plastic products being rejected by the EU and other countries, mainly due to plasticizers. China is facing a transformation towards "green" plastic products led by eco-friendly plasticizers. Research and development of eco-friendly plasticizers have been ongoing, but they are still far from the standards of European countries. I believe that with continuous technological advancements, China will make further progress in the field of eco-friendly plasticizers. (Eco-friendly plasticizers)
