Plasticizer

Plasticizers are high-boiling, low-volatility organic liquids or solids added to synthetic polymers—primarily Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)—to lower their glass transition temperature (Tg), melt viscosity, and elastic modulus. By embedding between polymer chains, plasticizers reduce intermolecular forces, significantly improving flexibility, elongation, and processability. Modern plasticizer technology emphasizes Non-Phthalate Eco-Friendly Plasticizers alongside specialized performance esters for wire & cable, medical, food packaging, and automotive applications.

The use of plasticizers in the industry

 

PVC Plastic Products Industry (Core Applications)

PVC Plastic Products Industry (Core Applications)

About 80% of plasticizers are used in PVC processing. Adding them can improve the flexibility, plasticity, and processing performance of PVC products. They're widely used in soft PVC products like wires and cables, flooring, artificial leather, films, wallpapers, plastic shoes, foamed plastics, and car interiors.

 

Paints and Adhesives Industry

Plasticizers are used to improve the film-forming performance and flexibility of coatings, paints, and sealants, and they are also used in adhesive formulations to enhance bonding strength and low-temperature resistance.

Medical and food packaging industries

Medical and food packaging industries

Certain types of plasticizers are used in medical tubing, infusion bags, blood bags, and other medical devices, as well as in the production of food wrap and food packaging materials.

 

Synthetic Rubber and Cellulose Industry

Plasticizers are used in the processing of natural and synthetic rubber to improve the softness and workability of rubber products. They are also used to modify materials like cellulose derivatives and polyvinyl acetate.
