Minimizing the Effect of Plasticizer Supply Disruptions - GEON
Recognizing a shortage of 810 alcohol was imminent and would affect 810TM plasticizer supply, GEON’s cross-functional Synthetic Esters team proactively began developing a replacement plasticizer. When the formulator reached out to GEON with their dilemma, the team was already prepared with a solution.

Valtris Specialty Chemicals | Homepage
CEREPLAS Trimellitates are high-quality specialty plasticizers with low volatility, resistance to high temperature, high tensile strength, good electrical properties, and processing ability. While extensively used in high-temperature PVC cable insulation, their fogging performance makes them a natural choice for the automotive industry.
What Plasticizers Do & How They Affect Properties | Osborne
Posted May 17, 2025. Plasticizers are non-volatile chemical solvents used throughout the plastics industry to increase such properties as flexibility, pliability, durability, longevity, biodegradability, and extensibility in polymers. When added to a plastic or elastomer, plasticizers affect the properties of the material without fundamentally
- What is a general performance ester plasticizer?
- Some general performance ester plasticizers used in the marketplace today are DOA, DIDA, DIDP, DOP, DINP and other phthalates and adipates made from straight-chain alcohols of 7–11 carbons in length. Ester plasticizers are commonly used only for their as-molded, low-temperature contribution.
- How are ester plasticizers selected?
- Ester plasticizers are selected based upon cost/performance evaluation. The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer.
- How to choose a high-performance ester plasticizer?
- The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer. 1.
- Why do we use ester plasticizers?
- Ester plasticizers make it possible to process elastomers easily while also providing flexibility in the end-use product. Plasticizer–elastomer interaction is governed by many factors, such as solubility parameter, molecular weight and chemical structure. Ester plasticizers are selected based upon cost/performance evaluation.
- Can polymeric esters enhance a high-performance elastomer?
- One example of how polymeric esters can enhance a high-performance elastomer is depicted in Figure 3. High-saturated nitrile is used in many high-heat applications. The use of 8-10 trimellitate is well documented as the plasticizer of choice for HNBR.
- Which elastomers use polymeric esters?
- Polymeric esters are especially suited for high performance elastomers, such as nitrile, high saturated nitrile and polyacrylates. Polymeric esters also have found utility in chlorinated polyethylene, chlorosulfonated polyethylene and fluoroelastomers.
