Flexible Formulation of Waterborne Caulks and Sealants
A caulking sealant has three basic functions: filling a gap between two or more substrates; forming a barrier through the physical properties of the sealant itself and by adhesion to the substrate; and maintaining sealing properties for the expected lifetime, service conditions, and environments.
Eastman Announces Second Plasticizer Capacity Expansion at
Eastman Chemical Company today announced a second expansion of its Benzoflex plasticizer line at the Kohtla-Jrve, Estonia, site. The expansion will increase Benzoflex capacity at the site by an additional 11,000 metric tons and is expected to be completed by the end of second quarter 2012. Eastman Sep 8, 2011
- What is Eastman 168 non Phthalate plasticizer?
- It offers good performance properties, excellent low temperature flexibility, resistance to extraction by soapy water, and excellent non-migration properties. In plastisols, Eastman 168 non-phthalate plasticizer results in low initial viscosity and excellent keeping viscosity.
- What is Eastman effusion used for?
- Eastman Effusion can also be used as an effective fast fuser in PVC plastisols. Eastman 168 is an excellent non-phthalate plasticizer for latex sealants and adhesives with performance comparable to the general-purpose ortho-phthalate plasticizers.
- What is Eastman versafixtm plasticizer?
- Ideal for water-based adhesives, Eastman VersafixTM plasticizer offers the optimal balance of functionality and value. It allows manufacturers of waterborne adhesives to maintain the same excellent levels of performance as traditional plasticizers while
- Why are non-phthalate plasticizers important?
- Creating much-needed elasticity, plasticizers improve the performance of adhesives, sealants, and caulks—optimizing viscosity, low-temperature efficacy, set-time functionality, impact resistance, and even tack. Changing regulations and consumer preferences have caused a technology shift towards non-phthalate plasticizers in the marketplace.
- What is Eastman fusion?
- Eastman Effusion is a non-phthalate plasticizer for waterborne adhesives that lowers a system’s glass transition temperature (Tg) and provides comparable viscosity response to currently used plasticizers. It demonstrates very low water solubility. Eastman Effusion can also be used as an effective fast fuser in PVC plastisols.
- Is Eastman txib a good plasticizer?
- In water-based adhesives based on vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE), Eastman TXIB often yields a slightly higher viscosity response than many general-purpose plasticizers and yields lower glass transition temperature (Tg) for better low-temperature properties.
