Eastman Product List for Polymeric Plasticizers
Admex 525 is a low molecular weight, polymeric plasticizer. Admex 760 is an ultra-high molecular weight, polymeric adipate. It possesses maximum resistance to extraction, migration and volatility. Admex 770 is a medium molecular weight, polymeric adipate. It is characterized by a mild ester odor and very light color.
Eastman Product List for Specialty Plasticizers
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.
- Are biopolymers a good substitute for conventional plasticizers?
- The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers, such as phthalates and other synthetic conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
- Can plasticizers be used to make plastic products?
- The use of plasticizers for plastic products manufacture is not a new practice. Its application to modify polymer characteristics began in the 1800s. In these early days, manufacturers of celluloid or celluloid lacquers used natural camphor and castor oil for plasticization purposes, but these were unsatisfactory for many end uses.
- Why are plasticizers important in biopolymer-based films & coatings production?
- In biopolymer-based films and coatings production, plasticizers are also essential additives since they can improve flexibility and handling of films, maintain integrity and avoid pores and cracks in the polymeric matrix .
- What are natural based plasticizers?
- Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the use of natural-based plasticizers that are characterized by low toxicity and low migration. This group includes epoxidized triglyceride vegetable oils from soybean oil, linseed oil, castor-oil, sunflower oil, and fatty acid esters (FAEs) .
- Which plasticizer is best for gelatin films?
- In terms of functional properties, GLY presented higher plasticizing effect and efficiency. Other plasticizers such as sucrose, oleic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, PEG, sorbitol, mannitol, EG, DEG, TEG, EA, diethanolamine (DEA) and TEA were also applied for gelatin films, modifying their mechanical and barrier properties.
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
