Selection of Plasticizers for Coating Formulations
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
Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) - Chemical Supplier Distributor Chemceed
DOP is a general-purpose plasticizer and long-time industry standard known for its good stability to heat and ultraviolet light, and broad range of compatibility for use with PVC resins. Dioctyl Phthalate can also be used as dielectric and hydraulic fluids. DOP is also a solvent for many chemicals, such as in glowsticks. Grades Available Technical
Ionic liquids: New generation stable plasticizers for poly(vinyl
Fig. 1. Structures of ILs and traditional plasticizers. The effectiveness of these ILs and traditional plasticizers were studied in terms of flexibility, mechanical properties, and high temperature and UV stability they impart to PVC as plasticizers. The leaching and migration tendencies of these plasticizers were also investigated.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Most commonly used phthalate plasticizers include: DEHP: Low molecular weight ortho-phthalate. 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.
Developments of biobased plasticizers
Biobased plasticizers have recently been considered as essential additives which may be used during the processing of compostable polymers to enormously boost biobased packaging applications.
- Is makgreen a phthalate plasticizer?
- Makgreen is a new generation Non Phthalate Plasticizer and is light yellowish in Colour, it has an excellent compatibility with PVC resin when used along with other primary plasticizers such as DOP/ DINP/ DBP/ DOTP/ DPHP/ TOTM/ DOA and secondary plasticizers such as Chlorinated Paraffin.
- How can plasticizers be used to make polymers soft and flexible?
- By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature. Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types.
- 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.
- Why should you choose linplast plasticizers?
- Our LINPLAST plasticizers, recognized as best-in-class, establish a new standard for performance expectations, positioning themselves as the preferred choice for an array of automotive applications.
- How do plasticizers affect polymers?
- Plasticizers are substances which, by virtue of their polar or polarizable structure, weaken the secondary valence forces of polymers. By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature.
- What are plasticizers & modifiers?
- Plasticizers and Modifiers are part of the Polymer Additive Business Unit and comprise of a wide range of high-quality products under the brand names Mesamoll ®, Adimoll ®, Unimoll ®, Ultramoll ®, K-FLEX ®, Vitroflex ®, Modulast ®, Uniplex ®, Triacetin, Acetine, and Baymod®. Mesamoll ® is a phthalate-free universal monomeric plasticizer.
