In other news, Emerald Kalama has made key new distribution appointments for its K-Flex fast-fusing plasticizers and low-VOC coalescents. BCD Chemie GmbH will service the so-called DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), while Caldic Spécialités will manage K-Flex distribution in France.
K-Flex Plasticisers - Euram Chemicals
KFLEX plasticizers, coalescents, and modifiers are optimized for excellent value, performance, compatibility, and economy in a wide range of applications. They are non-phthalate, low-VOC, and have positive attributes from a product health, safety, and environmental perspective compared to many other options.
- What are K-flex plasticizers used for?
- K-FLEX plasticizers offer equal or superior performance over other recognized plasticizers and coalescents in a wide range of applications including adhesives, caulks, sealants, coatings, and vinyl/plastisol applications. Lower gelation/ fusion temp. Ask us about our wide global inventory status.
- What are K-flex® dibenzoate esters?
- K-FLEX® dibenzoate esters are non-phthalate plasticizers, modifiers, and coalescents. They are compatible with a wide range of polymers and are commonly used in adhesives, sealants, coatings, paints, flooring, wall coverings, synthetic leather, and personal care.
- Are K-flex plasticizers phthalate-free?
- are an excellent phthalate-free solution for formulators looking to satisfy both legislative requirements and consumer demand. K-FLEX plasticizers offer equal or superior performance over other recognized plasticizers and coalescents in a wide range of applications including adhesives, caulks, sealants, coatings, and vinyl/plastisol applications.
- What is a blend of K-flex® plasticizers?
- Blends of K-FLEX® plasticizers with general purpose-type plasticizers – or with other specialty plasticizers such as adipates and citrates – are often used to take advan-tage of the exceptional properties of the K-FLEX® plasticizers.
- Why should you use K-flex® plasticizers for PVC?
- These very high solvators for PVC are fast fusing and will increase pro-cessing speed and lower processing temperatures. K-FLEX® plasticizers also provide superior wear perfor-mance, increased stain resistance and resistance to extraction by solvents such as kerosene, olive oil and other non-polar materials.
- Which polymers are used in K-Flex® Products?
- This makes K-FLEX® products highly efec-tive in many of the most widely used non-olefin based polymers: PVC, polyvinyl-acetate, polyvinyl-acetate/ethylene copolymers, acrylic, styrenated acrylic, styrene-butadiene, polysulfide, nitrocellulose, nitrile, and polyurethane.
