Comparative study of environmentally friendly plasticizers and traditional plasticizers

In today's context of increasing environmental awareness, the selection of plasticizers has gradually attracted widespread attention from industry professionals. As an important additive to improve the flexibility and processability of plastics, plasticizers not only affect the performance of products, but also have a bearing on environmental protection. Therefore, comparing the performance differences and application scenarios of environmentally friendly plasticizers and traditional plasticizers is an important basis for us to understand this market trend.

1. Performance Differences

Although traditional plasticizers such as phthalates have a large market share in the plastics industry, their environmental and health risks are becoming increasingly prominent. In contrast, environmentally friendly plasticizers use renewable raw materials and have lower volatility and toxicity. They not only improve the flexibility of plastics, but also better meet the requirements of sustainable development.

2. Application Fields

Environmentally friendly plasticizers are gradually being widely used in fields with high safety requirements such as food packaging and children's toys, while traditional plasticizers are still used in fields such as building materials and automotive parts. As regulations continue to tighten, the market demand for environmentally friendly plasticizers is expected to continue to grow.

3. Market Trends

According to industry research, the market share of environmentally friendly plasticizers is increasing year by year, and it is expected that there will be greater room for growth in the next decade. With technological advances and reduced production costs, environmentally friendly plasticizers will become an indispensable part of the plastics industry and contribute to the sustainable development of the industry.

In summary, environmentally friendly plasticizers and traditional plasticizers each have their own advantages. However, as we pay more and more attention to environmental protection, choosing environmentally friendly plasticizers is not only in line with market trends, but also can enhance the social responsibility of enterprises. It is hoped that this study will provide valuable reference for relevant industry professionals when choosing plasticizers.
