This document discusses using polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as polymeric plasticizers and process aids for PVC. PHAs were found to have similar properties to conventional ethylene copolymer resin modifiers for PVC, including lower migration rates than primary plasticizers like DINP. PHAs are also inherently miscible in PVC, making them easier to process than synthetic modifiers. Additionally, PHAs are fully bio-based and food contact approved, allowing for higher bio-content and a broader range of applications compared to conventional plasticizers.
