Plasticizers are nonvolatile organic chemicals incorporated into a plastic or elastomer to improve the flexibility, extensibility, and processability of polymers. Benzoates are high solvating plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and are available as monobenzoates (benzoates) or dibenzoates. Benzoic acid is used in the production of benzoate and dibenzoate plasticizers. Benzoates plasticizers are widely used in flooring, wall coverings, adhesive and sealants, inks and waxes, and films and sheet products. There is a growing need for phthalate-free plasticizers, which creates a high demand for benzoate plasticizers. This is raising the requirement for benzoic acid. Hence, replacing phthalate plasticizers with non-phthalate plasticizers is expected to boost the South & Central America benzoic acid market growth.
