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.
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.
Plasticizers in Paint & Coatings: Uses, Types and Selection
Good stability to heat and ultraviolet light Broad range of compatibility, and Excellent resistance to hydrolysis Di-iso-octyl phthalate (DIOP) DIOP is like DOP, an all-purpose plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, rubbers, cellulose plastics, and polyurethane. Di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP) & Di-iso-decyl phthalate (DIDP)
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.
Uses of Phthalates and Other Plasticizers - U.S. Consumer
– Plasticizers are chemicals that are added to other polymeric substances to improve the flexibility of the polymer or to aid in processing the polymer – Once fused, the compound of PVC resin and plastici zer is stable; with heat, extreme stress, or an extracting media would be required to release some of the plasticizer – Plasticizers are poor
- 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.
- 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.
- Why are plasticizers important?
- They are particularly important in the production of plastics, where they help improve processing characteristics and end-use properties. Here’s a comprehensive introduction to plasticizer classification and related knowledge. : Phthalates are the most commonly used plasticizers due to their high efficiency and low cost.
- What types of plasticizers are used in hydrophilic polymers?
- In addition to water, the most commonly used plasticizers are polyols, mono-, di- and oligosaccharides. Polyols have been found to be particularly effective for use in plasticized hydrophilic polymers .
- Which compounds are used in plasticizers for sunflower protein isolate films?
- The use of five compounds (GLY, EG, DEG, TEG and PG) as plasticizers for sunflower protein isolate films, producing soft, brown and smooth films, with good mechanical properties and a high level of impermeability to water vapor .
- What are biodegradable plasticizers?
- Biodegradable plasticizers such as soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) were added to poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties. TEC or DBP presented better plasticizing effects than SO and ESO for PHBV .
