Medical-grade PVC and TPE Compounds - Tekni-Plex
High-performance vinyl compounds are translucent (self-frosting), flexible, and offer improved physical properties compared to standard extrusion grades of equal durometers. These include increased durability, excellent resilience, good compression set and a soft textured feel. These compounds are available in 35 to 85 shore A hardness.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Still the world’s most widely used PVC plasticizer DINP, DIDP: High molecular weight ortho-phthalates Aliphatic dibasic acid Esters – These include chemicals such as glutarates, adipates, azelates and sebacates. They are made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and alcohols.

Plasticizer
Sebacate - based plasticizers provide excellent compatibility with a range of plastic materials and synthetic rubbers (specifically nitrile rubber and neoprene), superior properties at low temperatures, and good oil resistivity. Some examples are: Dibutyl sebacate (DBS) Di- (2-ethylhexyl)sebacate, Di-octyl Sebacate [15] (or DOS plasticizer)
A Comparison of Plasticizers for Use in Flexible Vinyl
Table I. Performance of plasticizers compounded to a standard modulus (0.5-mm film). Study 2 took a different approach, holding the amount of plasticizer in the compound constant for all plasticizer types and allowing the hardness and modulus to vary. 2 The ingredients were mixed and then placed on a two-roll mill for 5 to10 minutes at 163°–171°C.
- Why do plasticizers soften polymer compounds?
- Plasticizers soften polymer compounds in order to improve processing, lower compound viscosity and increase the flexibility of polymer compounds. Because there is a wide range of chemicals used as processing aids and plasticizers, the individual properties of each compounding material can differ greatly.
- Who are performance plastics?
- Performance Plastics are an established stockist and distributor of polymer granules and bespoke compounds to the UK’s plastics processing industry, for injection moulding, extrusion and blow moulding. Our variety of engineering polymers are fully supported both commercially and technically. Service is at the heart of our operation.
- Who are polymer compounders?
- Polymer Compounders Limited, is the UK's leading thermoplastic compounder. Specialising in ABS, Polycarbonate, PC/ABS alloys and ASA.
- What are processing aids & plasticizers?
- Processing aids and plasticizers are chemical additives used in compounds to increase the plasticity, fluidity or lubrication of a material. These processing aids are suitable for use in plastics and rubber compounds.
- Which processing aids are suitable for use in plastics and rubber compounds?
- These processing aids are suitable for use in plastics and rubber compounds. Plasticizers soften polymer compounds in order to improve processing, lower compound viscosity and increase the flexibility of polymer compounds.
- Why should you choose polymer compounders limited?
- Polymer Compounders Limited's offer of excellent product consistency, fast colour match, flexibility on the ordered quantity and short lead time is extremely attractive for the Automotive and Transportation industry.
