Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
Plasticizers are one of the commonly used additives in adhesives and sealants formulations. They improve the performance of adhesives by creating much-needed flexibility, optimizing viscosity, toughness, set time functionality, impact resistance, and even adhesion.

Jayflex DTDP plasticizer is the highest-molecular-weight phthalate plasticizer, providing greater performance at high temperatures. It is the preferred plasticizer for automotive cable applications and THHN/NMB electrical wire insulation. Learn more Linear plasticizers
KURARAY LIQUID RUBBER - Elastomer Division | Specialty Chemicals
LFR is a popular ingredient in the manufacture of high-performance tires. The polymerized form of the bio-based farnesene has unique properties. Its viscosity is much lower compared to current liquid isoprene rubber. As an additive in rubber compounds, it gives them high plasticity.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
A primary plasticizer enhances elongation, softness and flexibility of polymer. They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear.
New Thermoplastic Damping Polymeric Materials Based on
components (plasticizers, fillers, modifiers) on the dynamic mechanical properties of TEP based on EVA in order to develop a new DPM effective in a wide temperature range. The leading method to investigate this problem is a method of dynamic mechanical analysis which allows to get information about changes
- Are Ateva EVA copolymers a good choice?
- lexibility and toughness at low temperatures. Ateva EVA copolymers contain no plasticizers, and can be used in place of plasticized PVC where plasticizer migration is a problem.In addition, AtevaEVA copolymers, particularly those with high VA contents, are able to tolerate high filler loadings without a significant decrease i
- What is a plasticizer chemistry?
- Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
- What is evaflex TM?
- EVAFLEX ™ exhibits flexibility and elasticity characteristics. In addition: It is flexible and non-toxic without needing a plasticizer. It boasts excellent low temperature properties. It is highly weather resistant and does not exhibit ozone aging.
- Why do we add plasticizer?
- The addition of plasticizer leads to a decrease in intermolecular forces along polymer chains, which improves the flexibility and chain mobility. These are added to enhance film flexibility, decrease brittleness and avoid shrinking during handling and storage , , .
- What are plasticizers used for?
- Plasticizers are an important class of low molecular weight non-volatile compounds that are widely used in polymer industries as additives . The primary role of such substances is to improve the flexibility and processability of polymers by lowering the second order transition temperature, the glass transition temperature (Tg).
- Does plasticizer type affect the equilibrium moisture content of films?
- Plasticizer type did not significantly affect the equilibrium moisture content of films. Sucrose added films were the most fragile at low RH, while GLY films were the most hygroscopic. However, at RH of 76–90%, sucrose films showed similar resistance compared to other plasticized films.
