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. When stability meets flexibility, it’s because at BASF, we create chemistry.
Acrylic Monomers
Acrylic monomers are the base material for a diverse range of applications and end products. BASF offers acrylic acid as well as the whole product range of acrylic monomers. More Applications Acrylic monomers are all around us and form part of our everyday lives in diverse guises.
Acrylates and Methacrylates supplier and distributor - Parchem
4. 5. Parchem is the premier supplier of acrylates for manufacturers of resins and coatings all over the world. Acrylate monomers, polymers, and their derivatives are essential raw-material building blocks for several industrial manufacturing processes including adhesives, acrylic coatings, textiles, acrylic resins and plastics.
2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate, BASF - ChemPoint, BASF - ChemPoint
It is commonly used to lower the Tg of polymers containing MMA, Styrene, Vinyl Acetate, and other "hard" monomers. 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate is most commonly used to manufacture polymers used in pressure sensitive adhesives.
Chemicals & Polymers Blog | Vinyl & Acrylic Monomers - Gantrade
N-butyl acrylate (BA) is the largest-volume acrylate ester used in the production of all-acrylic, vinyl acrylic and styrene acrylic copolymers. BA offers price-value and accounts for about 60 percent of the global acrylic ester monomer demand, with a consumption volume of over 2,000 kilo tons. For over 45 years, Gantrade has built lasting
- What are natural product type plasticizers?
- Vegetable oil derivatives are the most widely used natural product type plasticizers. Products consisting of triglyceride esters of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil) in which the double bonds in the fatty acid residues have typically been epoxidized have been commercial products for decades.
- Why should you choose BASF acrylic monomers?
- Part of our life. Part of your success. BASF is the world’s largest producer of Acrylic Monomers. Our products have a wide range of applications and are used in various end products including paints, lacquers, adhesives, water treatment products, plastics, detergents and textile fibers.
- Why did plasticizer prices rise sharply in Q1 2022?
- Plasticizers prices rose sharply in Q1 2022 as a result of the sharp rise in crude oil prices and improved downstream demand. The price of dioctyl phthalate averaged 1875 USD/MT towards the end of first sector. The increase in upstream value prices and the strengthening domestic market demand were the main factors influencing this price shift.
- What is a polymeric plasticizer?
- Polymeric plasticizers are typically made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and diols. They are primarily valued for their permanence. These plasticizers are generally classified as polyesters, not adipates. Many have low solvency for PVC and high viscosity. Both these factors can make processing f-PVC compounds difficult.
- Are polymeric plasticizers adipates?
- These plasticizers are generally classified as polyesters, not adipates. Many have low solvency for PVC and high viscosity. Both these factors can make processing f-PVC compounds difficult. Many have poor low-temperature properties and may be sensitive to moisture. Check out the table below for the benefits of polymeric plasticizers.
- What is a plasticizer chemistry?
- Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
