Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers) Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers)

Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well. DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate plasticizers are shown below.

DIC's Advantages

Major Applications

• Food utensils/containers and packaging
Polyester, because it excels in non-volatility, oil resistance, and non-migration compared to DEHP (DOP).
Starting with the Japan Hygienic PVC Association's Positive List (JHP PL), DIC stocks many products that are compliant with domestic and international inventories.
Representative product numbers : Polycizer W-1020-EL, W-1430-EL / Monocizer W-242

• Gloves/toys
DIC stocks many plasticizers that are suitable in fields with restrictions on the use of phthalic ester (phthalate) represented by DEHP (DOP).
Representative product numbers : Polycizer W-230-H / Monocizer W-705, W-150, PB-3A
