Plasticizer
Phthalate -based plasticizers are used in situations where good resistance to water and oils is required. Some common phthalate plasticizers are: Low Molecular Weight Ortho Phthalates Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), used in fragrances, as an insect repellent, and in several industrial processes as a solvent/carrier
Plasticizers in Paint & Coatings: Uses, Types and Selection
DOP or DnOP is light-colored, low volatility & odorless liquid. It was the most commonly used all-purpose plasticizer, although mainly used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins. It is insoluble in water & has a low viscosity of 56 mPa.s at 25°C. DOP features: Good stability to heat and ultraviolet light; Broad range of compatibility, and
Plasticizer - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Good plasticization involves interspersing plasticizer molecules between PVC chains, breaking the small amount of native PVC crystallinity, and internally lubricating the polymer blend. While there is no formal chemical bond between plasticizer and polymer, the polar attraction between them makes plasticized PVC more than a simple physical mixture.
High-performance plastics
High performance plastics meet higher requirements than standard and engineering plastics because of their more desirable mechanical properties, higher chemical and/or a higher heat stability. Especially the latter makes processing difficult, often requiring specialized machinery. Most high-performance plastics are exploited for a single
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS Plastic): Uses
Heat stabilizers, hydrolysis stabilizers, lubricants, UV stabilizers etc. are being used in non-reinforced and reinforced grades to increase specific material properties. Hence, grades available include: High and medium impact High heat resistance, and Electroplatable
- What are plasticizers & stabilizers?
- Plasticizers are one of the key materials which improve the characteristics of the final products such as flexibility, which would not be realized without it, to PVC and rubbers. PVC stabilizers are one of the essential materials for PVC to improve processability and characteristics of PVC products.
- How to choose a plasticizer?
- The choice of the plasticizer is dependent on the requirements that have to be met for the final product and the conditions around that product’s use. This may include low volatility, high permanence, low temperature flexibility, flame retardancy, high thermal stability and saponification resistance.
- What are chlorinated plasticizers used for?
- Chlorinated plasticizers are mainly used in PVC to improve its processing and enhance its resistance to oil, heat, and flame. These plasticizers are often found in specialized applications like automotive and industrial products.
- Why should you use epoxy plasticizers?
- Improved Thermal Stability: Epoxy plasticizers offer excellent resistance to heat, which is critical for high-temperature applications. High Compatibility: They are well-suited for use in conjunction with other plasticizers to optimize performance.
- 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.
- What are PVC stabilizers?
- PVC stabilizers are one of the essential materials for PVC to improve processability and characteristics of PVC products. We are focusing on the research of PVC stabilizers that meet global regulations of chemical materials. Plasticizers give useful properties such as flexibility to PVC and rubbers.
