Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
It is almost colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is very slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. while miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers used in PVC compounding. Melting point: 43°C (45°F; 230 K) Boiling point: 244-252°C at 0.7 kPa.
Specialty Plasticizers for Rubber/Elastomers | Hallstar
Normal service temperatures are -40°C to 125°C, but special compounding can broaden this range to -55°C to 150°C for intermittent service. The elastomer requires antioxidants, anti-ozonants, fungicides, plasticizers, tackifiers and flame-retardants as the occasion and severity of the application demands.
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
Selecting Heat Stabilizers for PVC
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most important commercial plastic but, it is thermally unstable at processing temperatures. Therefore, heat stabilizers are widely used to safeguard vinyl products at all stages by improving resistance of PVC products at high temperature.
Eastman Product List for General Purpose Plasticizers
Eastman 425 is a non-phthalate plasticizer for vinyl compounds and plastisols. It is compatible with PVC as well as PVC /VA copolymers. The performance of Eastman 425 plasticizer is equal or better than other higher-solvating plasticizers. Eastman TEG-EH (Triethylene Glycol Bis (2-Ethylhexanoate)) plasticizer is usually blended with
- 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.
- Which plasticizers are compatible with rubber?
- Coal tar plasticizer Coal tar series plasticizers have good compatibility with rubber, can improve the aging resistance of rubber, but have an inhibitory effect on accelerators, affect vulcanization, and have high brittleness temperature. Commonly used are coal tar and coumarone resin.
- 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.
- What is a plasticizer used for?
- The plasticizer is a commonly used additive in rubber products to improve the processing performance of rubber.
- 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.
- Do petroleum-based plasticizers affect rubber performance and performance?
- Petroleum-based plasticizers are one of the most widely used plasticizers in the rubber industry, with good plasticizing effects and low cost. The influence of petroleum-based plasticizers on rubber performance and performance depends on their composition and properties.
