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.

Eastman Product List for General Purpose Plasticizers
Eastman TOTM plasticizer (Tris (2-Ethylhexyl) Trimellitate) is the ideal PVC plasticizer for use in applications where low volatility is of supreme importance, such as wire and cable insulation and interior automotive. It also has properties that are required for dishwasher gaskets and photograph storage.
Superplasticizer
Plasticizers are chemical compounds that enable the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more. These additives are employed at the level of a few weight percent. Plasticizers and superplasticizers retard the curing of concrete. [1]
STUDY OF CONCRETE WITH VARIOUS TYPES OF PLASTICIZERS AND
Practical value of common concrete water-cement ratio moves within 0.35 to 0.60 depending on type and effect of added plasticizers or superplasticizers and required consistency of fresh concrete. Low water-cement ratios that may get under 0.25 is use namely with new modern types of concrete like RPC
- What makes a good plasticizer?
- A good plasticizer makes concrete or mortar flow in a way that is different from how an air-entraining agent does it. But some plasticizers also add air to the material, making it easier to work. A good plasticizer should add 1% to 2% of the air to concrete at most because adding air to concrete makes it less strong.
- What is a hydrophilic plasticizer?
- The primary purpose of hydrophilic plasticizers is to improve the concrete’s plastic and flow properties, as evidenced by their increased wet ability. This plasticizer makes a lot of air get into the concrete mix. It is possible to lower the tension of the water in the solution and make the concrete more flexible.
- How do Plasticizers make concrete stronger and last longer?
- Plasticizers make concrete stronger and last longer by reducing the amount of water and cement needed to reach a certain level of workability. Since the heat of hydration of mass concrete goes down when the cement weight goes down, plasticizers can do this. Plasticizers and water reducers are chemical admixtures used to make concrete more workable.
- How do plasticizers and water reducers affect concrete strength?
- Since the heat of hydration of mass concrete goes down when the cement weight goes down, plasticizers can do this. Plasticizers and water reducers are chemical admixtures used to make concrete more workable. Unless the mixture is “starved” of water, increasing the w/c ratio reduces the concrete’s strength.
