PVC PLASTICISERS | MATERIALS
Grupa Azoty says more new plasticisers will be
produced on the new production line (which will be officially opened next year). The company says its intention is to develop a wide range of innova- tive polyester non-phthalate plasticisers, including the use of bio-renewable succinic acid.
Fast-fusing plasticisers Valtris Specialty Chemicals recently introduced Santicizer Platinum P-1700, the latest addition to its line of non-phthalate fast-fusing plasticisers. Based on cyclohexanoate technology, this grade is said to combine high solvating ability with extremely low volatility and excellent migration resistance (Figure 2). “Santicizer Platinum P-1700 can lower both formulation and production costs while improving final product properties,” says Polymer Modifiers Business Director Mark Holt. “It is an effective replacement for traditional phthalate fast-fusing plasticisers as well as volatile non-phthalate plasticisers.” Valtris has also extended its line of bio-based plasticisers. Plas-Chek Platinum G-2000 is an epoxy soyate ester with an 85% certified bio-content. Holt describes it as an excellent general-purpose
plasticiser with performance comparable to other non-phthalate general purpose products. “It offers good processing performance, excellent low temperature properties, and outstanding heat stability all while providing significant bio-content,” he says. Plas-Chek Platinum G-2000 can be combined with a Santicizer plasticiser to meet specific processing needs if required.
