Plasticizers in Paint & Coatings: Uses, Types and Selection
The interaction is based on the specific structure of the plasticizer, typically containing polar and non-polar moieties, and results in lowering the glass temperature (Tg). In order to ensure high efficiency, the plasticizer should be able to penetrating in the resin at film-forming conditions.
PalatinolTOTM
Palatinol TOTM is a primary, branched monomeric plasticizer for vinylhomopolymer and copolymer resins. Palatinol TOTM is suggested for use in those end-use areas where extreme low volatility is required. Palatinol TOTM can be blended with Palatinol 11P-E to optimize cost-performance in medium to high temperature compounds.

Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Most commonly used phthalate plasticizers include: DEHP: Low molecular weight ortho-phthalate. Still the world’s most widely used PVC plasticizer DINP, DIDP: High molecular weight ortho-phthalates Aliphatic dibasic acid Esters – These include chemicals such as glutarates, adipates, azelates and sebacates.
Effect of Plasticizers Content on the Mechanical Properties
Dioctyl phthalate (DOP) has been identified as one of the plasticizers for the modification of the unsaturated polyester's properties successfully (Bakar and Djaider, 2007; Isa et al., 2012)....
- What are natural based plasticizers?
- Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the use of natural-based plasticizers that are characterized by low toxicity and low migration. This group includes epoxidized triglyceride vegetable oils from soybean oil, linseed oil, castor-oil, sunflower oil, and fatty acid esters (FAEs) .
- Can bio-based unsaturated polyester resin be substituted for petroleum polymer materials?
- Thus, it is more realistic to develop partially substituted petroleum polymer materials. In this work, we improved the rheological properties of fully bio-based unsaturated polyester resin by utilizing a mixture of bio-based and petroleum based reactive diluent, dimethyl itaconate and methyl methacrylate, respectively.
- Are biopolymers a good substitute for conventional plasticizers?
- The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers, such as phthalates and other synthetic conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
- What are unsaturated polyester resins?
- Unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs) are one of the most essential classes of polymers and highly versatile as they can easily be tailor-made to achieve the desired properties. Since the middle of the 20th century, when commercial production started, UPRs have been used with great success in many industrial sectors .
- Which plasticizer is best for gelatin films?
- In terms of functional properties, GLY presented higher plasticizing effect and efficiency. Other plasticizers such as sucrose, oleic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, PEG, sorbitol, mannitol, EG, DEG, TEG, EA, diethanolamine (DEA) and TEA were also applied for gelatin films, modifying their mechanical and barrier properties.
- Why are plasticizers important in biopolymer-based films & coatings production?
- In biopolymer-based films and coatings production, plasticizers are also essential additives since they can improve flexibility and handling of films, maintain integrity and avoid pores and cracks in the polymeric matrix .
