Evaluated Alternative Bio-attributed, phthalate-free plasticizer for close to human use: Pevalen™ Pro Pevalen™ Pro is a bio-attributed plasticizer ready to be dropped into existing formulations with Pevalen™. Based on the mass balance concept, it is a partly renewable pentaerythritol tetra valerate (PETV) designed to reduce the carbon footprint and supports sustainable sourcing of renewable raw material. Pevalen™ Pro is third party certified according to the ISCC system which means we have both traceability back to the country of origin ensuring the biomass was sourced in a sustainable way as well as a certified mass balance and greenhouse gas (GHG) calculation. Perstorp offers three grades of Pevalen™ Pro; Pro 8, Pro 24 and Pro 36, based on 8%, 24% and 36% renewable resources.
Evaluated Alternative True non-phthalate plasticizer for close to human use: Pevalen™ Pevalen™ is a true non-phthalate plasticizer with uncompromising performance. It is the perfect choice for sensitive applications, such as products in direct human contact, e.g. apparel and accessories, sports & leisure products, automotive interiors or other indoor applications such as floors or wall coverings in homes and public spaces. Perstorp has also obtained Food Contact Notification from the FDA in USA for the use of Pevalen™ as a plasticizer for use in repeated‐use food contact articles. Pevalen™ (chemical name pentaerythritol tetravalerate or PETV) has a unique performance not matched by any other plasticizer product with high plasticizing efficiency in combination with low migration and volatility. The unique combination of properties and its total-cost efficiency makes it a versatile and often superior plasticizer for both suspension and emulsion applications such as molded parts, films & sheets, coated fabrics - including artificial leather and other plastisol applications.

Evaluated Alternative Non-phthalate plasticiser for sensitive applications Plasticisers are used to soften plastic and the most well-known plasticisers are phthalates. There are concerns regarding the toxicity of some phthalates and therefore, choosing a non-phthalate plasticiser might be a safer alternative. Acetyl Triethyl Citrate (ATBC) is a non-phthalate plasticiser for sensitive applications. ATBC does not pose any toxicological, ecotoxicological or environmental concerns. It is a well-suited and recommended plasticiser not only for medical devices, toys, food packaging, and personal care, but also for technical applications such as artificial leathers, textile coatings, floorings, and automotive engineering.
Evaluated Alternative Non-phthalate plasticizer for toys Plasticizers are used to make plastic softer and more flexible. The most commonly used plasticizers for PVC are phthalates. However, there are concerns regarding toxicity of certain phthalates. This causes an increasing pressure from both public authorities and customers to shift toward the use of phthalate-free alternatives. Proviron is helping this transition by offering high-quality non-phthalate plasticizers. Proviplast 2724 is a non-phthalate plasticizer that performs as a primary plasticizer and is especially well-suited to extrusion and calendaring processes. It is an alternative to traditional PVC plasticizers in sensitive applications, such as toys or play mats.
