Its diverse uses include resilient flooring, adhesives, caulks, and sealants. Product availability by region: Asia Pacific | Europe, Middle East, & Africa | Latin America | North America
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 high-molecular-weight plasticizers provide an optimum balance of properties with outstanding performance and permanence. Adipate plasticizers Jayflex adipate plasticizers can be used as a primary plasticizer but, more typically, are used in blends with general-purpose phthalates to improve low temperature properties.
Eastman Products Enhance Adhesives & Sealants Performance
Adhesives & sealants From resins to polymers to plasticizers, Eastman products enhance the performance of a wide variety of adhesive, sealant, and caulk formulations. Tackifying resins and polymers provide the ability to modify the properties of the final adhesive product to fit specific performance parameters.

Adhesives and Sealants Strength and Versatility Sealing, bonding and adhering a variety of substrates Adhesive and sealant formulations can be classified in a number of ways, including organic or inorganic; acrylic-, polyurethane- or silicone-based; and moisture, heat or UV curing, among others.
- What is a plasticizer used for?
- Plasticizers have been used to give polymers a permanent adhesive character (pressure sensitivity), or to regulate their adhesion-cohesion balance to achieve removability. For example, plasticizers can be incorporated into peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive to soften the adhesive, and thus improve peelability and clean removal.
- What types of plasticizers are used in adhesives & sealants?
- Oils (like paraffinic, naphthenic, and aromatic) are used mainly as plasticizers in non-polar adhesives. These are generally used in the hot-melt adhesives and sealants. Base polymers include the mid-blocks of styrene-butadiene copolymers and polyolefin-based adhesives. Polymeric plasticizers are used frequently in adhesives and sealants.
- What are velsiflex plasticizers?
- Velsiflex plasticizers are high performance plasticizers. They are polar and monomeric in nature. In most cases, they provide superior performance compared to other plasticizers as it relates to polymer compatibility, efficiency and desired softness.
- Is velsiflex a plastisol?
- As a vinyl plasticizer, Velsiflex® has the solvating power that affords ample formulating latitude for optimized PVC formulations. Typical plastisol applications include calendering, flooring, or automotive plastisol sealants. Velsiflex plasticizers are high performance plasticizers. They are polar and monomeric in nature.
- What is a phosphate plasticizer used for?
- Phosphate plasticizers are used in the adhesive and sealant industry when a secondary function of flame resistance is of value. Their price is prohibitive for many general-purpose applications. They are primarily used as plasticizers for PVC plastisols, polyacrylates, cellulose derivatives, and synthetic elastomers.
- What is plasticizer compatibility?
- Plasticizer compatibility is the key to plasticizer performance in adhesives and sealants. In latex systems, compatibility can be assessed by observing the viscosity increase after the addition of the plasticizer and by observing the clarity of a cast film of the plasticized adhesives.
