plastifikaattoreina
Plastifikaattoreina, also known as plasticizers, are chemical additives used to enhance the flexibility, workability, and durability of plastic materials, particularly polymers such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride). These substances are incorporated into plastics during manufacturing to modify their physical properties, making them more suitable for a wide range of applications.
The primary function of plastifikaattoreina is to increase the polymer's flexibility by reducing intermolecular forces, thereby
Commonly used plasticizers include phthalates, adipates, citrates, and phosphates. Phthalates, such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), have
Plasticizers are employed in numerous products, including cables, flooring, inflatable products, medical devices, toys, and packaging
Research continues into safer, more sustainable alternatives that can provide similar functionalities without adverse health effects.
