Specialty plasticizers are basically additives that increase the plasticity or flexibility after addinginto the materials. Specialty plasticizers are also used to add features such as low temperature resistance, volatility-resistance and good electrical properties into leather, PVC films and electrical wires. Specialty plasticizers are highly used in some PVC applications such as cables, PVC films, flooring, roofing and wall coverings. Specialty plasticizers are grouped into a number of categories such as phthalates, polymerics, aliphatics, epoxides, phosphates, trimellitates and others. Increasing in PVC demand and expansion of high and non-phthalates is likely to drive the global specialty plasticizers market growth.
