Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
It is almost colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is very slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. while miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers used in PVC compounding. Melting point: 43°C (45°F; 230 K) Boiling point: 244-252°C at 0.7 kPa.

Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
Plasticizers are used in all types of adhesive and sealant formulations. They are used primarily to the final bond and to provide improved low-temperature properties. However, plasticizers can also supply additional benefits that are important to both the formulator and end-user.
Nylon 66: Pricing & Supply Issues Spur
The company’s PlastiComp business is also offering blends of nylon 6 and nylon 66 in long-fiber formulations. BASF: Szendro discussed three alternatives. For applications that require good electrical properties, good heat aging, weldability, impact performance and damping, he said Ultramid nylon 6 might be a solution.

- Click on each product to learn more about it. At INVISTA, we make the chemical ingredients – including adiponitrile (ADN), hexamethylene diamine (HMD), adipic acid (AA) and polymer-grade propylene (PGP) – that are essential for so many different products.
- What are plasticizers used for?
- Plasticizers make materials more malleable and less brittle by lowering the intermolecular tensions between polymer chains, which lowers the glass transition temperature. In addition to improving the flexibility and elasticity of materials, plasticizers are essential in products like PVC pipes, cables, and vinyl flooring. Plasticizers Price Chart
