Eastman Plasticizers for Adhesives
Benzoflex - 9-88 Plasticizer Benzoflex 9-88 is a high solvating benzoate ester plasticizer that can be used in a wide variety of polymer systems and applications. Its diverse uses include resilient flooring, adhesives, caulks, and sealants. Product availability by region: Asia Pacific | Europe, Middle East, & Africa | Latin America | North America
Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
Plasticizers may also be one of the least expensive additives used in adhesives and sealants, and they can be used in relatively large concentrations depending on the application and formulation (up to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts of the base polymer). For these reasons, they are sometimes used as extenders for cost-reducing purposes.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Extenders are a subset of secondary plasticizers. They are commonly employed with primary plasticizers to reduce costs in general purpose flexible PVC. They are mostly low cost oils having limited compatibility in PVC. They are added to reduce cost and in some cases to improve fire resistance.
Plasticizers Prices: Latest Price, Pricing, News, Market Analysis
North America. Plasticizers prices rose sharply in Q1 2025 as a result of the sharp rise in crude oil prices and improved downstream demand. The price of dioctyl phthalate averaged 1875 USD/MT towards the end of first sector. The increase in upstream value prices and the strengthening domestic market demand were the main factors influencing
