Sector: Plastics & Films

Plastics are widely used across every sector and are constantly evolving with the introduction of new polymers that can help revolutionise industries and reduce the environmental impact of these materials. Solvents play a significant role in this production and development.

In addition to production, solvents contribute to new recycling technologies to help improve waste management practices that can contribute to a circular economy and more sustainable society. For instance, dissolving plastic waste in a solvent can purify it while maintaining its material properties, but it is also possible to depolymerise polymers into monomers that can be used to remake virgin-grade material.

Examples of the high-quality solvents that are supplied Alcohols Ltd used within this sector:

  • Di Propylene Glycol (DPG)
  • Toluene
  • Industrial Denatured Alcohol (IDA)
  • Mono Propylene Glycol (MPG) – Technical Grade, USP Grade
  • Glycol Ethers – Butyl Glycol, Methyl Proxitol
