Plasticizer market in China is facing environmental pressure

In recent years, China has become the largest producer and consumer of plasticizers in Asia. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection in countries around the world, pharmaceuticals and food packaging, daily necessities, toys and other plastic products have raised higher purity and hygienic requirements for the main plasticizers such as DOP. However, the main plasticizers produced by domestic companies at present have many properties. In particular, it is difficult to meet the environmental protection requirements in terms of hygiene, low toxicity and other aspects.

Regarding the toxicity of DOP has attracted worldwide attention, although the argument that whether it will cause cancer is still debated, but because of its potential for cancer, all countries have taken corresponding measures. The US Environmental Protection Agency has stopped the production of six new phthalates, according to the results of the National Cancer Institute. DOP is limited to the use of high-water content food packaging, and meat packaging must use other non-toxic drugs. Plasticizer products to replace. According to the results of European and American countries such as Japan, South Korea and other countries, DOP (DEHP) is more harmful than DOA (DEHA). For example, the European Food Safety Agency EFSA stipulates that concentrations of DEHA in the human body above 0 3 mg/kg are considered to be unsafe, whereas DEHP concentrations above 0.05 mg/kg are considered to be unsafe.

DOA and DOP are all plasticizers widely used in China's polyvinyl chloride food cling film. Special DOPs are the most versatile plasticizers and are used in large quantities in food packaging products. Among the ten main plasticizers allowed in China's PVC cling film, the first one is dioctyldioic acid (ie, DEHA, abbreviated as DOA), and the last three are phthalates DBP, DOP, and DIOP. The toxicity is relatively greater than DE-HA, due to the higher production costs of DOA, so most of the domestic PVC cling film production companies use DOP, DBP as the main plasticizer, so that the produced plastic wrap, especially used in fat-containing When a higher meat product or food wrapped in it is heated in a microwave oven, the chance of its plasticizer migrating into the packaged food will be more, posing a potential hazard to human health. However, it is safer to use vegetables, especially before eating or preparing foods.

As for the potential carcinogenic risk of DOP, international measures have been taken to limit the use of DOP. The United States has stopped the industrial production of six phthalates. The Swiss government decided to ban the use of DOP in children's toys. Germany has banned the use of DOP in all plastic products related to human and health foods. In Japan, DOP is Plastic additives are limited to use in industrial plastic products. At present, the global has accelerated the research and development of non-toxic plasticizer products, and especially accelerated the basic application research of plastic products with high hygiene requirements. In China, plasticizers such as DOP, which have been eliminated from abroad, have a large market, and plasticizer manufacturers have not attracted enough attention to the development and promotion of non-toxic new plasticizers. 80% of the plasticizers on the domestic market are DOP, DBP (dibutyl phthalate), etc. The low price is the most critical factor. The national standard “Hygienic Standards for the Use of Additives for Food Containers and Packaging Materials” also lists DOP as one of the plasticizers that can be used for food packaging.

Sheet Metal Shear
