Belarus price plasticizer TOTM for plastic industry
  • Why are plasticizer prices going down?
  • Competition for volume has been strong amongst domestic players and in response to imports. TOTM (tris (2-ethylhexyl)trimellitate) - an alternative plasticizer for PVC medical devices - saw very sharp price erosion early in the year. But TOTM was not alone and all plasticizers markets saw prices moving down substantially.
  • How did plasticizer prices change in China?
  • In China, plasticizer prices moved up in January along with 2-EH prices, then fell back in February owing to slow demand recovery after the holiday. Prices only fluctuated slightly from March to May.
  • How have plasticizer imports impacted the oxo-alcohol industry?
  • Imports of all general-purpose plasticizers have been competitive, as freight rates fell and the local markets in Asia failed to show any demand improvement, particularly China on which hopes had been pinned. As gas prices and propylene costs have gradually come down, oxo-alcohol producers have been less squeezed.
  • What can TOTM be used for?
  • Such applications can include vinyl automotive interior or molded parts, dishwasher gaskets, seals, and telephone wire. A stabilizer can be added to TOTM, making it useful in electrical or cable & wire applications. TOTM also works well in blends with other plasticizers with low-volatility including DUP or DOTP.
  • What is a plasticizer used for?
  • The plasticizer occupies about one-third of the PVC employed to assemble a medical device, like an infusion set. Manufacturers used DEHP as the principal plasticizer in the previous decades due to its relatively low cost and ability to stop the destruction of red blood corpuscles (RBC).
  • What is TOTM lubricant?
  • As a lubricant ester, TOTM can be utilized as a API category Group V basefluid or additive. Its properties make it useful in high temperature applications which require high viscosity, oxidative stability, along with good solvency and lubricating properties.
