Eastman 168™ Non-Phthalate Plasticizer

General purpose non-orthophthalate plasticizer. Phthalate esters are used in conventional plasticizers and are hazardous to the environment and human health due to their toxicity and volatility. Eastman Chemical Company developed a non-orthophtalate plasticizer with equal or superior performance to convention orthophthalate plasticizers. Features of this plasticizer include good performance properties, excellent low-temperature flexibility, resistance to extraction by soapy water, and excellent non-migration properties. When used in plastisols, these plasticizers also result in low initial viscosity and excellent keeping viscosity. This plasticizer also has excellent compatibility with PVC, PVC/VA, and elastomers.
