- Where are BASF's plasticizers made?
- BASF's Cornwall site manufactures monomeric and polymeric plasticizers. These plasticizers are distributed across North America and abroad. The Lethbridge site, on the other hand, is a Commercial Canola Seed facility.
- Why are plasticizer prices rising in Asia-Pacific?
- Asia The price trend for plasticizers showed an upwards trend in the the Asia-Pacific region during the first quarter owing to the domestic polymer segment's increased demand for the product as a result of better offtakes from China’s construction sector.
- Which plasticizer should I use?
- We have the right plasticizer for your needs. Get in touch with us! For sensitive applications like medical devices, toys, lifestyle products, sports equipment or textile coatings we recommend Hexamoll ® DINCH, our award-winning non-phthalate plasticizer.
- What was the price trend for plasticizers in second quarter 2022?
- During the second quarter, plasticizers’ demand from the automotive and construction industries remained stable, hence the price trend for plasticizers stayed stable during the second quarter of 2022. Procurement Resource provides latest prices of Plasticizers.
- What are plasticizers used for?
- Plasticizers make materials more malleable and less brittle by lowering the intermolecular tensions between polymer chains, which lowers the glass transition temperature. In addition to improving the flexibility and elasticity of materials, plasticizers are essential in products like PVC pipes, cables, and vinyl flooring. Plasticizers Price Chart
- What is a plasticiser or dispersant?
- A Plasticiser or dispersant refers to an additive that decreases the viscosity, or simply reduces the plasticity of a material, usually a plastic. Plasticiser enhances the flexibility and resilience of a material to which it is added. Thus, these are the substances that are added to modify or change physical properties of materials.
