New Plasticisers for Polyvinyl Chloride

Abstract

An examination is made of a method for producing symmetric 1,4-butanediol esters in the presence of catalyst titanium nanodioxide of grade R-25 with a surface area of 140.9 m 2 /g and a particle size of 25 nm by the esterification of 1,4-butanediol with aliphatic fatty acids. The esters obtained have been tested as a plasticiser for polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

New Composite Materials Based on Polyvinyl Chloride

“…The plasticising capacity of esters largely depends on the nature and size of the hydrocarbon radical in the esters [1,2]. The establishment of certain relationships in this direction prompted us to research the production of an ester based on a mixture of synthetic fatty acids (SFAs) and 1,3-butanediol.…”
