plasticizers, including many phthalates, have a long history of safe use. It will be incumbent upon us, working with our customers and the appropriate agencies, to establish the safety of our products for their intended applications,” he says. At the AMI PVC Formulation conference in Germany earlier this year the company presented data compar- ing the performance of reFlex 100 when used as an accelerator against BBP, DPGDB , IDB and ESBO in blends with DINP, showing that the bio-based product delivered lower hardness values at similar loadings along with acceptable levels of volatility and heat loss.
The ability of the reFlex
100 grades to deliver lower hardness values means processors can reduce total plasticizer content and, because the plasticizer is also said to act as a thermal stabiliser, save on stabilisation additives, according to PolyOne. Air release is also said
to be improved in paste and plastisol applications. “Vinyl has always offered the market significant
value across a broad range of applications due not only to its relatively ‘sustainable’ performance in terms of carbon footprint but also to its versatile mechanical, electrical, chemical resistance, weathering and self-extinguishing properties, as well as its long-lived performance and the value it offers versus alternative materials,” says Gray. “Enhancing the carbon footprint of flexible vinyl products by incorporating bio-based plasticizer alternatives is just one more option adding to vinyl’s versatility.”
US-based stabilisers and additives manufacturer Galata Chemicals introduced
its first bio-based primary plasticizer earlier this year. Based on natural plant oils,
Drapex Alpha products are said to be suitable for a wide range of general purpose and specialty applications, offering PVC compound producers improved extraction resistance, VOC emissions and easier processing. The
