Notes:
Bis(2,4-diphenylbutyl) phathalate, a plasticizer for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), was synthesized from 2,4-diphenyl-1-butene obtained by a thermal decomposition under reduced pressure of waster polystyrene. The heat stability of bis(2,4-diphenylbutyl) phthalate was determined by thermogravimetric analysis and compared with typical plasticizers. It was recognized that bis(2,4-diphenylbutyl) phthalate showed high heat resistant. A test sheet of plasticized PVC with bis(2,4-diphenylbutyl) phthalate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was prepared. The test sheet was used for determination of the plasticizing performance of bis(2,4-diphenylbutyl) phthalate. Although the effect of bis(2,4-diphenylbutyl) phthalate imparting flexibility to PVC is poorer than that of bis(2-ethylehexyl) phthalate, the former phthalate is well compatible with PVC and exceedingly heat-resistant.
