Plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Compound Market to
Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compound contains plasticizers and softening agents, which give a rubber-like property. Flexible PVC compounds provide flexibility to the products....
Compression Behavior of Biodegradable Thermoplastic
TPS preparation: Single plasticizer: FPTPS and urea plasticized thermoplastic starch (UPTPS) were compounded in the proportion of 10, 15, and 20%. GPTPS and ethylene glycol-plasticized thermoplastic starch (EGPTPS) were compounded in the proportion of 15%. Fig. 1. Preparation of thermoplastic starch-based composites. Full size image
Plasticizer
Plasticizers used in PVC and other plastics are often based on esters of polycarboxylic acids with linear or branched aliphatic alcohols of moderate chain length. These compounds are selected on the basis of many critieria including low toxicity, compatibility with the host material, nonvolatility, and expense.
Comparison of Single/Compound Plasticizer to Prepare
To improve the adhesive properties between the starch and the fibers in composites, this paper took formamide, urea, glycerol, and glycol as plasticizers to plasticize corn starch each with the...
Eliminating DEHP Plasticizer in Medical-Grade PVC
Plasticizer loading can be an important factor in the overall cost of a compound. In the study, plasticizer levels required to achieve 75 Shore A hardness varied from 30.5 to 36.1 percent (See Figure 2). Only the citrate plasticizer was used at the same level as DEHP, 32.2 percent.
