feedstock made from plastic waste; in addition, no technical changes are required on their part. Reducing the use of fossil resources, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing plastic waste is highly relevant for today’s manufacturers and consumers.” The new products in BASF’s sustainable North American plasticiser portfolio are manufactured at its production sites in Pasadena, Texas and Cornwall, Ontario. The sites and the products are certified according to the ISCC Plus scheme. Biomass-balanced (BMB) plasticisers are made with renewable raw materials, resulting in products with a lower CO2
footprint than their conventional
equivalents. Ccycled grades use circular feedstocks derived from plastic waste. BASF’s TOTM and TOTM-I (tri-2-ethylhexyl
trimellitate) are available as BMB products: Palatinol TOTM Advantage 50 and PalatinolTOTM-I Advantage 50. TOTM are important plasticisers for wire and cable insulation, as well as in construction, automotive and medical markets, BASF said. The two new versions of Palatinol DOTP (di-2-
ethylhexyl terephthalate) plasticiser are Palatinol DOTP Advantage 50 (BMB) and Palatinol DOTP
Ccycled products. BASF said that its DOTP has broad food contact clearance from the US FDA for use in flexible vinyl and other plastic products. It has a favourable toxicological profile, with a designation from the third-party ChemForward Safer program as well as being listed in CleanGredients, a database based on Safer Choice criteria from the US EPA. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring maker NOX announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding with BASF to drive initiatives for supplying ChemCycling-based, Ccycled DOTP to NOX US for production of high-performance LVT for residential and commercial applications. The company said it has also manufactured flooring using ISCC Plus-certified PVC made from renewable plant-based materials.

“Sustainability continues to be a driving force for converted PVC products, even during cost pressures and market competition,” said Martin Hansson, Business Manager EMEA at Perstorp, which produces the non-phthalate Pevalen range of plasticisers. “We see brand owners preparing
