Both the K-Flex 850S and K-Flex 975P OPVs were 250 mPa·s in viscosity. This evaluation confirmed that a relatively low concentration of plasticizer does have a significant impact on OPV viscosity with these types of plasticizers/coalescents. Table 2 lists the MFFTs of the OPV formulations.
- What are K-flex® dibenzoate esters?
- K-FLEX® dibenzoate esters are non-phthalate plasticizers, modifiers, and coalescents. They are compatible with a wide range of polymers and are commonly used in adhesives, sealants, coatings, paints, flooring, wall coverings, synthetic leather, and personal care.
- Are K-flex® plasticizers a good choice?
- QUALITY PERFORMS. K-FLEX® plasticizers and coalescents are known for their excellent value and balance of performance properties. They are non-phthalate, low in VOCs, and have positive attributes from a product safety and health perspective compared to other choices.
- Are K-flex plasticizers phthalate-free?
- are an excellent phthalate-free solution for formulators looking to satisfy both legislative requirements and consumer demand. K-FLEX plasticizers offer equal or superior performance over other recognized plasticizers and coalescents in a wide range of applications including adhesives, caulks, sealants, coatings, and vinyl/plastisol applications.
- Can K-flex® DP plasticizers be used in food packaging?
- No values were provided for the individual dibenzoates. K-FLEX® DP Plasticizers can be safely used as plasticizers in food packaging adhesives; in paper and paper coatings in contact with dry foods; and/or, in certain instances in paper and paperboard coatings in contact with aqueous and fatty foods.
- Is K flex 850s label-free?
- In Europe K-FLEX® 850S is label-free. * K-FLEX® 975P may be used as a plasticizer at a level not to exceed 20% in an adhesive under 21 CFR 176.170 and 21 CFR 176.180, provided the adhesive is separated from the food by a functional barrier, or is limited to contact with food so as not to exceed trace amounts at seams and edges.
- What is K flex DP dpgdb?
- Excellent stain resistance & durability. K-FLEX® DP – DPGDB is one of the most versatile polar, high solvating plasticizers. Compatible with a wide range of polar polymers, rubbers, including TPU. Excellent pigment carrier in various masterbatch systems.
