Plasticizers
Plasticizers In a wide variety of applications, BASF’s plasticizers help make numerous products flexible. At the same time, they ensure reliable protection against bad weather and extreme temperatures, helping the products to last longer, function better and maintain their value.
America
There has been a need for plasticizers ever since PVC (polyvinyl chloride) was patented in 1913. In its unmodified state, PVC is rigid and brittle. Plasticizers are used to make the material soft and flexible. BASF has been a leader in the market for plasticizers and raw materials throughout the history of flexible PVC.
Plasticizers - BASF Aerospace Materials and Technologies
Plasticizers are additives that increase the softness of the material to which they are added. They are commonly used with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to make flexible vinyl, a material that is being used in a variety of applications, such as wire and cable jacketing and insulation, extruded or molded parts used in flooring or as floor coverings, coated fabrics or decorative laminates and
