Since ancient times, plasticizers have mainly focused on o-benzene products. However, with the increasing application of DOP in the food and pharmaceutical industries, people have found that plasticizers have the problem of precipitation, especially in the field of PVC soft products such as wires and cables. Traditional liquid plasticizers will have the tendency of precipitation, which will adversely affect the materials in use.
Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the amount of liquid plasticizer to reduce the risk of its precipitation. The concept of solid plasticizer is relative to that of liquid plasticizer. It is an auxiliary plasticizer, which is usually used together with the main plasticizer to promote the plasticization of polymer materials and inhibit the precipitation of the main plasticizer.
A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different elements. There is a certain proportion between the atoms that make up a compound. In other words, a compound has a definite component, regardless of its source. Is the solid plasticizer a compound?
Compounds can be divided into organic and inorganic substances.
Organic compounds: Organic compounds are carbon containing compounds (but carbon containing compounds are not necessarily organic). Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. For example, methane (CH4) is an alkane, ethylene (C2H4) is an olefin, acetylene (C2H2) is an alkyne, and benzene (C6H6) is an aromatic hydrocarbon. Organic compounds are compounds containing carbon (except CO2, CO, H2CO3 and carbonate), such as CH4, C2H5OH and CH3COOH, which all contain carbon (C).
Inorganic compounds: inorganic compounds do not contain hydrocarbons, such as H2O, KClO3, MnO2, KMnO4, NaOH, etc. They are inorganic substances.
The molecular formula of dioctyl sebacate of solid plasticizer is C26H50O4, and the molecular formula of dibutyl sebacate is C18H34O4, both of which are organic compounds. So most general plasticizers are solid plasticizers!
