Handbook of Plasticizers - 3rd Edition
Handbook of Plasticizers, Third Edition, is an essential professional reference, providing information that enables R&D scientists, production chemists, and engineers the information they need to use plasticizers more effectively, and to avoid certain plasticizers in applications where they may cause health or material durability problems.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
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. They are made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and alcohols.
Engineering Plastics Comparison: Which is Right For Your Project?
With good dimensional stability and fatigue strength, as well as excellent machining ability, POM is a highly versatile engineering plastic that is good for complex components. PET – Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) offers high strength, rigidity and hardness, good creep resistance, and hydrolysis resistance up to +70°C.
Plasticizers in Paint & Coatings: Uses, Types and Selection
Good stability to heat and ultraviolet light Broad range of compatibility, and Excellent resistance to hydrolysis Di-iso-octyl phthalate (DIOP) DIOP is like DOP, an all-purpose plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, rubbers, cellulose plastics, and polyurethane. Di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP) & Di-iso-decyl phthalate (DIDP)
Ultramid F Balance (PA)
Ultramid F Balance is the novel transparent polyamide of BASF. It is based partially on renewable sources, offers excellent mechanical performance, low density, good stability against chemicals and good adhesion to TPU. Check out the possibilities that Ultramid F balance offer for your applications. Main properties
- How to choose a plasticizer?
- The choice of the plasticizer is dependent on the requirements that have to be met for the final product and the conditions around that product’s use. This may include low volatility, high permanence, low temperature flexibility, flame retardancy, high thermal stability and saponification resistance.
- Do plasticizers deteriorate the thermal stability of plasticized PVC?
- When plasticized samples were subjected to the same temperature ramp, dramatic differences were observed compared to the above results for the plasticizers alone. Unplasticized PVC was stable up to 212 °C, whereas the addition of plasticizers deteriorated its thermal stability to some extent for every plasticizer studied.
- How can plasticizers be used to make polymers soft and flexible?
- By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature. Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types.
- What are phthalic acid plasticizers?
- These plasticizers are derived from phthalic acid and are highly effective in enhancing the flexibility and durability of plastics. High Performance: Phthalates provide excellent flexibility, low volatility, and good stability to PVC.
- What are natural product type plasticizers?
- Vegetable oil derivatives are the most widely used natural product type plasticizers. Products consisting of triglyceride esters of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil) in which the double bonds in the fatty acid residues have typically been epoxidized have been commercial products for decades.
- How to choose a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC?
- While selecting a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC, the main attributes to be checked are: Among them, regulation is an important decision factor while selecting plasticizers. In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on phthalate plasticizers. But in fact, not all phthalates are prohibited.
