Palm oil by-product transforms into PVC thermal stabilizer with possibilities for recycling and sustainability

The quest for sustainable alternatives to conventional materials has led to the exploration of waste by-products as potential resources. In a novel approach, researchers from the Institut Teknologi Bandung have developed a method to synthesize an organotin mercaptide-based thermal stabilizer from palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), a by-product of the palm oil refining industry. This development not only offers a solution to the disposal of PFAD but also presents a competitive alternative to existing PVC stabilizers. The findings are published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts. The construction and plastics industries frequently rely on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for its durability and versatility. However, the thermal stability of PVC is a significant concern, necessitating the use of stabilizers to prevent degradation during processing.

Molecularly Oriented Polyvinyl Chloride PVCO

PVCO pipe, which stands for molecularly oriented polyvinyl chloride pipe, has been utilized in North America for over four decades, boasting an impressive track record with more than 20,000 miles of pipe installed. Similarities between PVCO and traditional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe exist, including shared ingredients and cell classifications. Initially, PVCO begins as an equivalent PVC compound, undergoing extrusion into PVC pipe before undergoing physical modification to transform into molecularly oriented pipe. Consequently, both PVCO and PVC pipes qualify for cell class 12454 per ASTM D1784 and boast a hydrostatic design basis (HDB) of 4,000 psi. The manufacturing process for PVCO involves realigning the molecular structure from random orientation to circumferential orientation, thereby enhancing the material's mechanical strength and toughness.

Once completed, PVCO pipe achieves an impressive HDB of 7,100 psi. Due to the differing HDB values of PVCO, conventional PVC's dimension ratio (DR) classification is not applicable, with PVCO being solely referenced by pressure class (PC) or pressure rating (PR). In North America, Cast Iron Outside Diameter (CIOD) products range from 4 inches to 30 inches in pressure classes 165, 235, and 305 psi, while Iron Pipe Size (IPS) products are available in sizes ranging from 4 inches to 16 inches with pressure ratings of 160, 200, and 250 psi.

PVCO and PVC find common application in distribution systems requiring open-cut installations, with PVC additionally suitable for trenchless installations. The inaugural North American installation of PVCO pipe transpired in Kansas in 1979, following its development in Europe during the early 1970s and first installation there in 1974. By the 2000s, multiple manufacturers offered PVCO pipe in North America. ASTM F1483, published in 1993, marked the initial product standard for PVCO pipe. Early applications predominantly focused on rural water and irrigation piping. Subsequently, in 1998, AWWA C909 emerged as the first PVCO municipal water pipe standard, drawing from AWWA C900 in terms of requirements, safety factors, diameter regimen, product quality control testing, and joint qualification testing. Over the years, AWWA C909 has undergone updates to encompass larger sizes and align with revised design procedures from the C900 standard. In 2009, CSA published PVCO standard B137.3.1, further solidifying the standing of PVCO pipe within the industry.

Polyvinyl Chloride Recycling

Also written poly(vinyl chloride) or abbreviated as PVC, polyvinyl chloride is a popular polymeric material and one of the oldest synthetic polymers. The chlorine in its composition typically comes from rock salt, making it greener than those polymers which are derived almost entirely from petrochemicals. However, the vast amounts of PVC that are produced make it important to pay attention to the waste streams of this material - and the hazards that may come along with it.

Older PVC products, now ready for recycling, often contain additives that have since been banned, including lead and phthalates. In addition, the chlorine in the PVC itself can be hazardous during some recycling methods such as thermal recycling, which separates chlorine from the resulting hydrocarbons. These challenges mean that PVC must be separated from other plastics before recycling, and sometimes must even be sorted within the category of PVC as additives can significantly change the properties of the base polymer.

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Prices Trend, Database, Index, News, Chart, Forecast

 Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) prices have been experiencing notable fluctuations, influenced by a variety of market dynamics and industry trends. As a thermoplastic produced by the chlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, CPVC has become increasingly popular due to its superior temperature and chemical resistance properties, making it an essential material in various industrial and residential applications. The pricing of CPVC is significantly impacted by the cost of raw materials, primarily chlorine and PVC. Changes in the supply and demand of these raw materials can lead to price volatility. For instance, an increase in the price of chlorine, often due to production constraints or increased demand from other sectors, directly raises the production costs of CPVC, subsequently driving up its market price.

The global supply chain disruptions, particularly those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, have also played a crucial role in the fluctuating prices of CPVC. The pandemic led to factory shutdowns, reduced production capacities, and logistical challenges, all contributing to scarcity in the supply of CPVC. Additionally, the shipping and transportation bottlenecks further exacerbated the situation, causing significant delays and increased costs. As economies started to recover, the surge in demand for CPVC in construction and infrastructure projects intensified the pressure on supply chains, leading to a noticeable increase in prices.

Environmental regulations and policies are another critical factor influencing CPVC prices. As governments worldwide implement stricter environmental controls and emissions standards, the production processes of chemicals and plastics, including CPVC, are becoming more regulated. Compliance with these regulations often requires significant investment in cleaner technologies and processes, which can drive up production costs. These increased costs are typically passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for CPVC products.

Technological advancements and innovations in CPVC production have a dual effect on prices. On one hand, new technologies can lead to more efficient production methods, reducing costs and potentially lowering prices. On the other hand, the initial investment required for adopting these new technologies can be substantial, and manufacturers may increase prices to recoup these investments. The balance between these opposing forces often determines the net impact on CPVC prices.

The geographical distribution of CPVC production and consumption also plays a significant role in pricing dynamics. Countries with abundant raw materials and advanced manufacturing capabilities, such as the United States and China, tend to have more stable and competitive pricing structures. In contrast, regions dependent on imports are more susceptible to price volatility due to fluctuations in exchange rates, import tariffs, and international trade policies. For instance, trade tensions and tariff impositions between major economies can lead to increased costs for imported CPVC, influencing the market prices in those regions.

Market demand is another significant determinant of CPVC prices. The increasing use of CPVC in various industries, such as plumbing, fire sprinkler systems, and industrial piping, has led to growing demand. This demand is driven by CPVC's advantages over traditional materials like metal and conventional PVC, including its superior resistance to heat, corrosion, and chemical degradation. As more industries adopt CPVC for its long-term benefits, the rising demand can lead to price increases, especially if supply growth does not keep pace.

Energy prices also impact CPVC production costs and, consequently, its market prices. The production of CPVC is energy-intensive, requiring substantial amounts of electricity and fuel. Fluctuations in energy prices, driven by factors such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, and shifts in energy policy, can therefore have a direct impact on the cost of producing CPVC. When energy prices rise, manufacturers often face higher production costs, which are then reflected in the market prices of CPVC products.

Lastly, the competitive landscape of the CPVC market influences pricing strategies. The presence of multiple manufacturers and suppliers fosters competition, which can lead to price wars and competitive pricing strategies aimed at gaining market share. However, consolidation within the industry, through mergers and acquisitions, can reduce competition and lead to higher prices. Manufacturers with significant market control can exert greater influence over pricing, potentially leading to less price volatility but higher average prices.

In conclusion, the pricing of Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) is influenced by a complex interplay of factors, including raw material costs, supply chain dynamics, environmental regulations, technological advancements, geographical distribution, market demand, energy prices, and the competitive landscape. Understanding these factors is crucial for stakeholders in the CPVC market, as it enables them to anticipate price trends and make informed decisions. As the global market continues to evolve, the ability to navigate these influences will be key to managing the economic impacts on CPVC pricing.

Recycling previously unrecyclable polyvinyl chloride

PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is one of the most produced plastics in the United States and the third highest by volume in the world.

PVC makes up a vast amount of plastics we use on a daily basis. Much of the plastic used in hospital equipment—tubing, blood bags, masks and more—is PVC, as is most of the piping used in modern plumbing. Window frames, housing trim, siding and flooring are made of, or include, PVC. It coats electrical wiring and comprises materials such as shower curtains, tents, tarps and clothing.

It also has a zero percent recycling rate in the United States.

Now, University of Michigan researchers, led by study first author Danielle Fagnani and principal investigator Anne McNeil, have discovered a way to chemically recycle PVC into usable material. The most fortuitous part of the study? The researchers found a way to use the phthalates in the plasticizers—one of PVC's most noxious components—as the mediator for the chemical reaction. Their results are published in the journal Nature Chemistry.
