Eastman Plasticizers for Adhesives
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 are one of the commonly used additives in adhesives and sealants formulations. They improve the performance of adhesives by creating much-needed flexibility, optimizing viscosity, toughness, set time functionality, impact resistance, and even adhesion.
Phthalates - Adhesives Ingredients Selection
Phthalates have been extensively used in the adhesive industry as general-purpose plasticizers. They are insoluble in water but miscible in most of the organic solvents, mineral oils etc. Being cost effective compared to non-phthalates, phthalate plasticizers are used in large volumes in adhesives and sealants.
PLASTICIZERS IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS - Kinam Park
Plasticizers use in adhesives and sealants is much less related to the typical expecta- tions from plasticizers such as lowering glass transition temperature and making material more flexible. In this group, desired performance characteristics of plasticizers are domi- nated by their low volatility and low viscosity.
Plasticizer use in Adhesives and Sealants - Chemceed
Plasticizers are an important component of many adhesives and sealants. A plasticizer is an additive used to increase flexibility or workability of a polymer system. Plasticizers typically affect the viscosity, lower the glass transition temperature, and lower the elastic modulus of a product.
- Who makes plasticizers in Egypt?
- ISC is the first specialized plant to produce a wide range of plasticizers in Egypt. With more than 35 years of experience in the chemical industry, ISC plant started production in 2022 to become the latest manufacturing plant to join AMAGO GROUP, which started its business in the chemical industry field in 1989 in Egypt.
- Which is the largest plasticizer plant in the Middle East?
- With state-of-the-art technology, the latest quality control equipment, and a total production capacity of more than 90 KMT of plasticizers per year, ISC is considered one of the largest plasticizer plants in the Middle East.
- Who is Mobel polymers?
- Mobel Polymers is a Chemicals factory company that produces polymers and plasticizers, with 15 years of experience and ISO certificates (9001, 18001, 14001) in our field. We are specialized in all types of binders and adhesives with high quality for all materials such as leather, wood, carpet, carton, cigarettes, paints and insulation material.
- What are plasticizers used for?
- For instance, unplasticized PVC is inherently hard and brittle, but when plasticizers are added, it becomes suitable for products such as vinyl siding, roofing, flooring, rain gutters, plumbing, and electrical wire insulation. Beyond polymers, plasticizers also play a crucial role in other materials.
- What are the different types of plasticizers?
- The primary types include: Phthalates: These are the most commonly used plasticizers, primarily employed to impart flexibility to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. Phthalates are esters of phthalic acid and are divided into high and low molecular weight categories.
- How do plasticizers affect a polymer?
- For example, commonly they are integrated polymer chains, plasticizers reduce intermolecular forces, thereby increasing the material’s plasticity and decreasing its viscosity. This modification transforms rigid and brittle polymers into more pliable forms, broadening their application spectrum.
