Plasticizers can be divided into two types based on their mode of action interior and exterior plasticizers. They can also be divided into general and special plasticizers according to their functions. A general plasticizer has broad applicability and no special features, for example, phthalate esters. A special plasticizer has some special features in addition to the functions of general plasticizers, such as cold tolerance, flame retardance, environmental protection, and permanence.
