Eastman Products Enhance Adhesives & Sealants Performance
From resins to polymers to plasticizers, Eastman products enhance the performance of a wide variety of adhesive, sealant, and caulk formulations. Tackifying resins and polymers provide the ability to modify the properties of the final adhesive product to fit specific performance parameters.
Eastman Plasticizers for Polysulfide Glazing Sealants & Caulks
Eastman VersaBond is an efficient and easy replacement for phthalate-based plasticizers in polysulfide sealants for insulated glass. When compared with both phthalate and benzoate plasticizers, VersaBond has comparable or better performance for Shore A hardness, viscosity, and tensile strength.
Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
The chemical and physical properties of common plasticizer families used in formulating adhesives and sealants are: Low-temperature resistance Stain resistance, low migration Considered safe in food and medical applications, some do not support fungal growth Flame retardant, low smoke
Plasticizer use in Adhesives and Sealants - Chemceed
A plasticizer is an additive used to increase flexibility or workability of a polymer system. Plasticizers typically affect the viscosity, lower the glass transition temperature, and lower the elastic modulus of a product. Phthalates and terephthalates are an example of effective plasticizer chemistries used in caulks and sealants.
