plasticizer是从动词plasticize加后缀er衍生而来，plasticize有塑化，使塑化的意思。塑化剂学名邻苯二甲酸二酯（DEHP），本是一种塑料添加剂（plastic additive），可以使塑料变得柔软（soften plastic），广泛运用于工业中。

e.g. According to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, since Wednesday, the Chinese Mainland has stopped importing goods produced by companies from the region that have used industrial plasticizer.
