INTRODUCTION
We here in EPS have a vast catalogue of plasticizers & solvents that are a family of man-made chemical compounds developed in the last century to be used in the manufacturing of plastics. They are colorless, odorless, oily liquids that don’t evaporate easily and do not chemically bind to the material they are added to.
EPS is the pioneer and sole producer in the MENA region of the most widespread plasticizers; DOP and DBP.
