A study of an eco-friendly solvent helping to make PVC plastic more flexible reveals the molecular-level interaction of hydrogen bonds between the two ingredients. What gives plastic objects their ...
The idea of scrapping the use of polyvinylchloride (PVC) materials containing di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) plasticizers is not new. However, despite such endeavors, both PVC and DEHP plasticizer ...
Pevalen, a non-phthalate general-purpose plasticizer developed by Perstorp for close-to-consumer applications exhibiting excellent processability and performance properties, has already gained a ...
With the official opening of its new production platform on 19 May 2015, Perstorp became one of only two fully integrated suppliers of plasticizers in Europe. The new plant represents a major ...
