Flexidone(tm) - A New Class of Innovative PVC Plasticizers
It’s based on principles of collaboration, unobstructed discovery, and, most importantly, scientific progression. As PhD students, we found it difficult to access the research we needed, so we decided to create a new Open Access publisher that levels the playing field for scientists across the world. How?

That PVC oc-cupies this significant position is in the main thanks to the development of a wide range of functional additives, particular-ly effective plasticizers. PVC is one of the few thermoplastics whose hardness can be adjusted from rubber-like elasticity up to hard formulations [1]. Thus for well over 50 years plasticizers have played a sig-
- What is flexidone plasticizer?
- Therefore the Flexidone family of plasticizers represents breakthrough technology in “cold flex” performance of plastics. Depending on the application, it can offer a great deal more. Flexidone plasticizers expand the options in PVC formulation, manufacturing and end-product design.
- Are flexidone plastisols more efficient than standard plasticizers?
- Gelling curves of PVC plastisols (50 phr plasticizer) with various mixtures of Vestinol 9 and Flexidone100, 300, DBP and BBP. 5. Conclusion It could be shown, that Flexidone’s are very efficient PVC plasticizers. They are up to 50% more efficient than standard plasticizer.
- Are flexidone mixtures better than other phthalate-free systems?
- As a function of the ratio of mixture indentation hardness, tensile properties and gelling properties (plastisol) have been evaluated. Compared to common systems, these new Flexidone mixtures surpass the performance characteristics and are superior to most of the phthalate and phthalate free systems.
- What is flexidone 500?
- Flexidone 500 is therefore the first available low volatility plasticizer which could facilitate cold break temperatures of lower than -70°C. 40 Tl. DINP
- Are flexidones cold flexible?
- Cold Flexibility with the Flexidones was checked by the Folding test DIN EN 495-5. Further trials in filled systems showed that Flexidones are highly compatible with e.g. calcium carbonate and allow very high filler loads with outstanding mechanical properties.
- Can flexidone replace fast-fusing plasticizers in DINP?
- In plastisol applications DBP and BBP are widely used as fast-fusing plasticizers in DINP. As figure 18 proves, Flexidone 100 and 300 can easily replace fast-fusers with unfavourable ESH profile.
