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.

Their viscosity–temperature curve is very flat. These plasticizers with special good resistance to low temperatures are used whenever a plasticized polymer is required to have high flexibility even at sub-zero temperatures. Typical low temperature plasticizers include Adimoll adipates, Uniplex sebacates and Disflamoll TOF. Compatibility

Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Plasticizers are among the most widely used additives in the plastic industry. They are also usually cheaper than other additives used in polymer processing. Plasticizers are most often used in PVC, the third largest polymer by volume after PP and PE. In turn, PVC is used in a wide range of products. Examples include:
- 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
- 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.
- Why did plasticizer prices rise sharply in Q1 2022?
- Plasticizers prices rose sharply in Q1 2022 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 this price shift.
