Lanxess offers a range of products enabling interested users of phthalate-based additives to switch to alternative safer products. As well as the established plasticizer "Mesamoll", these include the new product "Mesamoll TP LXS 51067". This phthalate-free product is a fast-solvating additive for PVC manufacture - particularly for the production of floor coverings and wall coatings. It will help, among other things, to replace the plasticizers dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP). Both of these are regarded as toxic for reproduction and are subject to considerable limitations on use. To make the product a good alternative, the active "Mesamoll" ingredient - alkane sulfonic acid ester of phenol - was combined with another plasticizer. This component is also phthalate-free and has been approved for food contact applications.
