Polyester plasticizers are rich in variety and widely used

Plasticizer, also known as plasticizer, refers to an additive that can increase the plasticity of polymer compounds or polymer materials. Polyester plasticizer refers to a plasticizer made from polyester polymer materials. Compared with traditional monolithic plasticizers, polyester plasticizers have the advantages of green environmental protection, resistance to solvent extraction, large molecular weight, oil resistance, small migration, and low volatility. They are widely used in sealing strips, wires and cables, artificial leather, and waterproof rolls. It is widely used in fields such as materials, high-temperature metal coatings, and gas pipelines.

There are many types of polyester plasticizers. According to different raw materials, polyester plasticizers can be divided into three types: petroleum-based polyester plasticizers, hyperbranched polyester plasticizers and bio-based polyester plasticizers; according to different synthetic reactants, they can be divided into glutaric acid Polyester plasticizers, adipic acid polyester plasticizers, sebacic acid polyester plasticizers, etc.; according to different end group structures, polyester plasticizers can be divided into acid-blocked polyester plasticizers, acid-blocked polyester plasticizers, and sebacic acid polyester plasticizers. Blocked polyester plasticizers and alcohol-blocked polyester plasticizers, etc. As the concept of green environmental protection continues to deepen, bio-based polyester plasticizers have gradually become the mainstream products in the polyester plasticizer market.

Polyester plasticizer is mainly used in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and sealing strips, wires and cables, artificial leather, waterproof membranes, etc. are its end products. my country is a major producer of wires and cables. In 2022, my country’s wire and cable output will reach 59.147 million kilometers, a year-on-year increase of 4.9%. Polyester plasticizer is oil and heat resistant and can be used to produce oil-resistant cables. Driven by downstream demand, the development space of my country’s polyester plasticizer industry will further expand.

According to the “2023-2028 China Polyester Plasticizer Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that in terms of the global market, the global polyester plasticizer market will reach US$520 million in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 4.7%. Major global polyester plasticizer manufacturers include Germany’s BASF AG (BASF), Taiwan’s Liancheng Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (UPC), Japan’s DIC Co., Ltd. (DIC), Japan’s ADEKA Co., Ltd. (ADEKA), the United States Eastman Chemical Company (Eastman) and others.

The main players in my country’s polyester plasticizer market include Jia’ao Environmental Protection, Wanlang Magnetic Plastics, Puyang Huicheng and Zhengdan Co., Ltd. Zhengdan Co., Ltd. focuses on the R&D, production and sales of special fine chemicals. Its independently developed trioctyl trimellitate combines the advantages of monomeric plasticizers and polyester plasticizers. The products have been used in medical, It has been applied in fields such as refrigerator door seals.

Industry analysts said that as a green and environmentally friendly plasticizer, polyester plasticizer has the characteristics of large molecular weight, oil resistance and migration It has advantages such as small sex and is widely used in many fields. As downstream demand gradually releases, the development space of the polyester plasticizer industry will further expand. It is expected that companies with bio-based polyester plasticizer production capabilities will occupy a larger space in the market in the future.
