Hallstar Technical Paper Covers Ester Plasticizers
June 1, 2025. Hallstar has published a technical paper about the function and selection of ester plasticizers, substances that are incorporated into a plastic or elastomer to increase its flexibility, workability or distensibility. Hallstar creates ester chemistry solutions for industrial polymers, as well as beauty and personal care products.

Ester of Pentaerythritol | Green Polymer Additives | Emery
Pentaerythritol esters with long chain fatty acids such as stearic acid, also called pentaerythritol tetrastearate or simply PETS, are a class of polymer additives with a strong release effect. They are typically used in polycarbonate and ABS polymers, but also in PET, PA and other plastics.

18 Technical Ester plasticizers for high-temp AEM elastomers
Four plasticizers were evaluated along with a control compound without plasticizer: TegMeR 812: lower MW polyether ester RX-14434: higher MW polyether ester RX-14562: aliphatic polyester RX-14565: aromatic polyether ester TegMeR 812 and RX-14434 have similar structures, though RX-14434 has higher molecular weight. The expectation is that
- What is an ester plasticizer?
- An ester plasticizer, in its simplest concept, is a high-boiling organic solvent that when added to an elastomeric polymer reduces stiffness and permits easier processing.1 For general performance applications, compounders require moderate performance in several areas without particular emphasis on any one.
- Are elastomer plasticizers good for rubber?
- Traditional elastomer polymers, such as nitrile, polychloroprene, chlorinated polyethylene and chlorosulfonated polyethylene, have for years used moderate- to low-performance ester plasticizers. However, longevity requirements for rubber articles made from these elastomers have created a need for higher-performance ester plasticizers.
- Which elastomers use polymeric esters?
- Polymeric esters are especially suited for high performance elastomers, such as nitrile, high saturated nitrile and polyacrylates. Polymeric esters also have found utility in chlorinated polyethylene, chlorosulfonated polyethylene and fluoroelastomers.
- What is a general performance ester plasticizer?
- Some general performance ester plasticizers used in the marketplace today are DOA, DIDA, DIDP, DOP, DINP and other phthalates and adipates made from straight-chain alcohols of 7–11 carbons in length. Ester plasticizers are commonly used only for their as-molded, low-temperature contribution.
- What factors affect Plasticizer-elastomer interaction?
- Plasticizer–elastomer interaction is governed by many factors, such as solubility parameter, molecular weight and chemical structure. Ester plasticizers are selected based upon cost/performance evaluation. The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties.
- How to choose a high-performance ester plasticizer?
- The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer. 1.
