INVISTA Adi-pure | High-Purity Adipic Acid
INVISTA Adi-pure high-purity adipic acid is a crystalline, white powder that exhibits typical carboxylic acid chemistry. With excellent uniformity and consistent end-use performance, Adi-pure adipic acid is a valuable intermediate for a wide range of applications, including:
Eastman 168 Non-Phthalate Plasticizer | Trusted Leader
Eastman 168 is the preferred non-phthalate plasticizer for PVC, with performance equal to or better than most ortho-phthalate plasticizers. It offers good performance properties, optimal low-temperature flexibility, resistance to extraction by soapy water, and exceptional nonmigration properties.
CEREPLAS Specialty Esters | Valtris Specialty Chemicals
CEREPLAS Sebacates are specialty plasticizers serving niche markets such as underground cable sheathing in arctic environments and in automotive sealants. Our range of sebacates include DOS and DIDS. CEREPLAS 100XS is a terephthalate ester. An excellent general-purpose plasticizer with heat stability, CEREPLAS 100XS is an alternative
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.
BASF and Linde signed cooperation agreement
BASF and Linde signed cooperation agreement on sublicensing BASF’s technology for high purity isobutylene (HPIB) Demand for high-purity isobutylene makes it one of the fastest growing chemical intermediate markets worldwide. It is used in a wide variety of high-value applications such as butyl rubber, polyisobutylene (PIB) and (poly) methyl
- 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 a primary plasticizer?
- 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.
- 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
