Abstract
Production of new types of effective and green softeners for polyvinylchloride (PVC) is one of the important concerns in chemical industry. The paper reports results of investigations on obtaining symmetric esters of a series of fatty acids and triethylene glycol (TEG) and their use as effective PVC plasticizing agents. The esterification process was conducted in the presence of nano-grade titanium dioxide Degussa P-25 and specified by environmentally sound technology. Good compatibility and low volatility of the bio-based type esters in PVC formulations were shown and higher physico-mechanical features of the PVC composites were established. The esters may be recommended as effective and environmentally friendly PVC softeners to replace commonly used phthalates.
Kurzfassung
Die Produktion von neuen effektiven und „grünen“ Weichmachern für Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) stellt eine der großen Herausforderungen in der chemischen Industrie dar. In diesem Beitrag wird über Ergebnisse von Untersuchungen berichtet, in denen symmetrische Ester einer Reihe von Fettsäuren und Triethylenglykol (TEG) gewonnen wurden und die als effektive Plastifizierungskomponenten verwendet wurden. Die Veresterung wurde unter Zugabe von Titandioxid Degussa P-25 in Nanopartikelgröße als umweltverträgliche Technologie durchgeführt. Eine gute Verträglichkeit und eine niedrige Flüchtigkeit der Ester auf Biobasis in den PVC-Rezepturen werden gezeigt und es konnten bessere physiko-mechanische Eigenschaften der PVC-Komposite eingestellt werden. Die Ester können als effektive und umweltfreundliche PVC-Weichmacher und als Ersatz für herkömmliche Phtalate empfohlen werden.
