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:
Plastic Additives, Processing & Impact Modifiers | Dow Inc.
Plastic additives are used in a wide variety of applications, including vinyl, blow-molding bottles, film, rigid containers, PVC plastics, siding, decks and rails, foam pipes and profile formulations, window frames and high-efficiency lubricants.
Performance Polymer Additives - Perstorp
Our range of polymer additives include Holtac, that function as lead-free heat stabilizers in Ca/Zn stabilizer systems, and Charmor, components for non-halogen intumescent systems for plastics and our specialty amorphous copolyester Akestra, compatible with PET, glycol modified polyesters. Holtac enables the manufacture of lead-free
Plastic Additives: Polymer Stabilizers, Plasticizers and
During the manufacturing of polymeric materials, such as plastics and rubbers, a number of chemical additives are added to inhibit or retard their degradation or to achieve better product quality. Heat stabilizers, antioxidant, UV absorber, plasticizers and lubricants are the most commonly seen and widely used additives.
Akrofax 758 White Sulfurless - Akrochem
It offers unique surface finish and supple feel to vulcanized rubber goods. Akrofax 758 White Sulfurless is used in PVC to improve extrusion and flow property. It reduces migration of oils and plasticizers to the surface in low durometer stocks. It absorbs large amounts of mineral oils and liquid plasticizer on mill and banbury.
