Modifiers and plasticizers
Via its BRUGGOLEN product lines, Bruggemann offers high performance additives for engineering thermoplastics with a focus on polyamides (PA6, PA 6.6, PA 12 and Co-polyamide), polyesters (PET, PBT), polypropylene (PP) as well as in the recycling of high-grade polymers.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Plasticizers are among the most widely used additives in the plastic industry. They are also usually cheaper than other additives used in polymer processing. Plasticizers are most often used in PVC, the third largest polymer by volume after PP and PE. In turn, PVC is used in a wide range of products. Examples include:
Plasticizer
For example, plasticizers are commonly added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which otherwise is hard and brittle, to make it soft and pliable; which makes it suitable for products such as shower curtains, vinyl flooring, clothing, bags, flexible plastic tubing, and electric wire insulation/coating.

- What are plastic additives?
- Plastic/polymer additives are chemical substances added during the plastic production process to improve the characteristics of the plastic in terms of performance, processability, and appearance. Common plastic additives include plasticizers, stabilizers, antioxidants, UV absorbers, fillers, and more.
- What are primary plasticizers?
- These additives are helps in enhancing fertilizer application and storage processes. Primary plasticizers are essential additives used in the formulation of plastic materials to impart flexibility, durability etc. Primary plasticizers can be either phthalein-based or non-phthalein-based.
- 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 are primary plasticizers & phosphoric acid plant additives?
- Primary plasticizers are essential additives used in the formulation of plastic materials to impart flexibility, durability etc. Primary plasticizers can be either phthalein-based or non-phthalein-based. Phosphoric acid plant additives are crucial components used in the production of phosphoric acid.
- 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.
- What are polymer additives?
- Polymer additives that improve processing, while enhancing mechanical performance and visual appeal for multiple polymer systems. Plasticizers are used in materials to increase elasticity, ultimately to increase overall flexibility.
