The new edition of BASF's innovation podcast "Chemistry of 
Innovations" talks about a special plasticizer for the application in
toys, medical devices and food contact applications.
Wherever people have physical contact with synthetic materials, 
then the material has to be extremely safe. Especially in 
applications such as foodstuff packaging, medical equipment and 
children's toys. Without chemical additives like plasticizers all 
PVC-(Polyvinylchloride) products that are soft and plastic would be 
in fact fragile and brittle like an uncooked noodle.
As such plasticizers and PVC are not permanently connected by 
chemical means, but rather the connection is only physical. Due to 
manual stress or exposure to liquids the plasticizers could leave the
PVC. The special plasticizer Hexamoll DINCH developed from BASF has a
far more permanent connection with the PVC molecules. This makes it 
very well suitable for the use in sensible applications like 
children's toys, medical equipment and foodstuff packaging.
