As the plastics additives attract RENEWED SCRUTINY, industry looks for replacements.
The global plasticizer market was about 8 million metric tons last year, according to IHS chemical,
a market research firm. Phthalates make up about 70% of that volume, IHS says.
Phthalates are also controversial. Concerns -justified or not -have been bubbling up for more than
a decade over their potential to disrupt hormones and cause reproductive and developmental effects.
As a result, the plasticizer industry is in a state of flux, scrambling to adapt to ever-changing demand
from regulators and the marketplace.
Eastman 168 enjoyed 25% growth in 2013 and 16% growth last year, Cullen says ,DEHT makes up
some 12 % of the global market, says IHS chemical's Malveda.

Plastics' big show. 150107
The enormous NPE 2015 plastics show broke records and ground.
" For food manufacturers , I think it is going to be a way for them to differentiate."
Milacron's booth was one of the stars. Milacron was showing off its product,the Klear Can,
injection-molding four of them every eight seconds.
The can is made out of polypropylene that is the packaging resin that can withstand the 120 C
needed to sterilize food. Thus far ,LyondellBasell industries is Milacron's chosen resin supplier.

Sweden's Perstory bets on specialties. 150105
New OXO chemicals unit, greener products may spell success for 134-year-old firm.
As the economy began to recover in 2010, Perstorp doubled capacity for the coatings chemical
dipentaerythritol in Bruchhausen, Germany.
One of those investments is the new oxo unit in Stenungsund , which cost $ 150 million to build and
has an annual capacity of 150,000 metric tons.
A new raw material is butane, which allows Perstorp to make valealdehyde and 2-propylheptanol.
The Austrian firm recently penned a 10-year deal to import low-priced U.S. ethane and is upgrading
its Stenungsund site to accommodate increased use of ethane as a cracker raw material.

Advances in spectroscopy and materials science. contines 15103
再读这组把分析杂志与仪器应用结合编辑成 Supplemental information 是很好的组合.
前面10篇分析论文均属超微分析,对象多数是生物,医疗. 而后面扼要介绍的13种仪器多用於材
料. 现在仅举其中 rheology 例,说明有广泛的应用. 1. 在 parts 制造 . 由橡胶转向热塑性弹性体.
2. 由 rheology modifier 搜索 , 可得很多公司视频,如 BASF 称之: 小事介决大问题. 另外
3. 在 Drilling fluid 中的应用. 偶而找到网上有 2015 收集为数甚多配方的电子书,也用 rheology.
读后点滴,有不当,请指正.

Japan's Asahi open U.S.pilot plant. 150102
AGC chemicals Americas, a subsidiary of Japan's Asahi Glass, has opened a pilot plant for PTFE
compound in Thorndale,Pa. Located on the site of a commercial-scale PTFE facility, the pilot plant
will make small testing and development batches. AGC says the plant will allow it to deliver samples
to customers more quickly than from the larger plant.
