Innovative Plasticizer Alternative to Phthalates for PVC Gloves

Phthalates are used in numerous Coatings and Inks formulations in order to improve flexibility, increase durability, provide cracking resistance or to aid coalescence of emulsions.

Owing to toxicological and regulatory pressures, there is a clear trend in the market to replace these Phthalates by other alternatives with a minimum impact on performances and cost. Of course the requirements for an alternative depends on the final application but typical needs are:

Desired Technical Plasticizer Properties:

1) Processability
2) Low migration
3) Low volatility
4) No interference with other technical requirements
5) Temperature effects /cold flexibility
6) Compatibility with the substrate

A NEW GENERATION OF PLASTICIZER called DINCH comes with an excellent toxicological profile and has been designed as a phthalate alternative. This product is directly derived from DINP as seen below. DINCH is the "cycloaliphatic version" of the phthalate. Today DINCH has successfully replaced phthalates in many PVC applications such as medical, toys, gloves and packaging.
