window than you get with DEHT and most non-phthalate plasticisers. Everyone still uses DEHP as the standard, and VersaMax allows them to meet that standard.” Both Eastman 168 and VersaMax will continue to be
available, however. “A lot of people have been able to formulate just fi ne with these products,” says Holt. “For situations where you really need high compatibility and fast dry times, VersaMax Plus gives you that. There are so many ways you can formulate PVC, it depends a lot on what equipment the customer has and what they are trying to achieve. There are places for all three products in the market.” Terephthalate-based plasticisers are not recom-
mended for applications requiring long-term weather resistance. For these, Eastman’s extensive plasticiser portfolio includes Admex polymeric plasticisers. In addition, Holt says the company offers Benzofl ex high solvating benzoate ester types, traditionally used in adhesives but increasingly used in PVC formulations. At Grupa Azoty, Europe’s fi fth largest producer of
oxo alcohols and plasticisers, company spokesman Grzegorz Kulik says the company will “in the near future” expand its plasticiser portfolio through the introduction of specialty esters, including bio-esters. For the moment, he says the company’s existing Oxovifl ex range is its response to the growing interest in
