Databook of Plasticizers - 2nd Edition
Description Databook of Plasticizers, Second Edition, contains data on the most important plasticizers in use today, including over 375 generic and commercial plasticizers. The data comes from a range of sources beyond plasticizers' manufacturers, allowing for a detailed comparison of properties between different plasticizers.
Industrial Vinyl | Bio-based Plasticizer
Sylvin Technologies, Inc. offers a wide variety of vinyl compounds for general purpose and industrial applications. We can produce compounds as soft as 45 Shore A, up to a hardness of 70 Shore D. Compounds can be clear, natural or pre-colored to customer specified standards. Furthermore, additives can be incorporated to enhance performance (i.e
Plasticizer
A plasticizer ( UK: plasticiser) is a substance that is added to a material to make it softer and more flexible, to increase its plasticity, to decrease its viscosity, and/or to decrease friction during its handling in manufacture. Plasticizers are commonly added to polymers such as plastics and rubber, either to facilitate the handling of the
Understanding the Composition of a Nitrile (Buna-N) Rubber
Most standard Nitrile compounds are based on a 33 to 36 ACN polymer. This gives the most versatile compound performance for oil swell and low temperature properties, figure 1. In most cases application can perform very well with this range. Higher ACN polymer are important where seal performance can not compensate for large volume swell and
Evaluating Plasticizers for Elastomers used in High
Some people may believe plasticizers in this article are evaluated at unrealistically high levels. However, if the plasticizer does not detract significantly at those quantities, it will surely handle lower level needs effectively. Acrylic Vamac B-124 MB1. Plasticizers evaluated with Vamac B-124 MB were dioctyl
- What is a plasticizer chemistry?
- Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
- What is a polymeric plasticizer?
- Polymeric plasticizers are typically made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and diols. They are primarily valued for their permanence. These plasticizers are generally classified as polyesters, not adipates. Many have low solvency for PVC and high viscosity. Both these factors can make processing f-PVC compounds difficult.
- How to choose a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC?
- While selecting a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC, the main attributes to be checked are: Among them, regulation is an important decision factor while selecting plasticizers. In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on phthalate plasticizers. But in fact, not all phthalates are prohibited.
- How many pphr is a calendering grade PVC resin?
- DIDP, DINP and DOP. The test recipe consists of 100 PPHR of calendering grade PVC resin, 7.0 PPHR of a heavy metals-free stabilizer system, and 67 PPHR of plasticizer. Compounds were tested using our full
- What is a primary plasticizer?
- A primary plasticizer enhances elongation, softness and flexibility of polymer. They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear.
- What are natural product type plasticizers?
- Vegetable oil derivatives are the most widely used natural product type plasticizers. Products consisting of triglyceride esters of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil) in which the double bonds in the fatty acid residues have typically been epoxidized have been commercial products for decades.
