ELVALOY Copolymer Alloys | Plastics Modification | Dow Inc.
ELVALOY is a flexible polymer that is highly miscible with PVC during the PVC compounding stage. This makes it a useful PVC plasticizer. Because it is a high-molecular-weight, solids-phase (non-liquid) PVC plasticizer, ELVALOY adds permanent flexibility to the PVC compound, enabling higher-value use in more demanding applications.

- 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 are natural product type plasticizers?
- Vegetable oil derivatives are the most widely used natural product type plasticizers. Products consisting of triglyceride esters of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil) in which the double bonds in the fatty acid residues have typically been epoxidized have been commercial products for decades.
- What is a polymeric plasticizer?
- Polymeric plasticizers are typically made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and diols. They are primarily valued for their permanence. These plasticizers are generally classified as polyesters, not adipates. Many have low solvency for PVC and high viscosity. Both these factors can make processing f-PVC compounds difficult.
- What are plasticizers & how do they work?
- Plasticizers are non-volatile organic substances (mainly liquids) added into a plastic or elastomer. They are also usually cheaper than other additives. They improve the following properties of the polymers: Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer.
- How to choose a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC?
- While selecting a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC, the main attributes to be checked are: Among them, regulation is an important decision factor while selecting plasticizers. In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on phthalate plasticizers. But in fact, not all phthalates are prohibited.
- Does a PVC plasticizer need to be labeled in California?
- If it can be demonstrated that a flexible PVC product containing (Proposition 65 listed) DEHP plasticizer, for example, cannot expose a consumer to more than the maximum acceptable daily limit of DEHP (established by the state of California), no labeling is required in California.
