Velsiflex Plasticizer | Benzoate Based, Non-Phthalate
Velsiflex 320 is a proprietary blend of benzoate esters resulting in a high-solvating plasticizer. It can be formulated for vinyl alone or in blends of plastisols as well as to melt compounded vinyl. It is a cost-effective and very economical plasticizer that is well suited for latex adhesives, vinyl flooring and plastisol markets.
Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
By far, the largest application of plasticizers is as a flexibilizing additive in plastic products such as food packaging, wire and cable insulation and medical devices. In these markets plasticizers are mainly used with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), but many other rigid polymers are plasticized for practical use.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Still the world’s most widely used PVC plasticizer DINP, DIDP: High molecular weight ortho-phthalates Aliphatic dibasic acid Esters – These include chemicals such as glutarates, adipates, azelates and sebacates. They are made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and alcohols.
Structure Design, Performance Simulation and Plasticizing
The mechanical properties of PVC blends plasticized by the four copolyesters including tensile and impact strength are measured and compared with the commercial plasticizer DOP. The stress–strain curve from the tensile test can be used to characterize the mechanical properties of PVC films.
Bio-Based Plasticizer Products | ACS Technical Products
Bio-Based / Non-Migratory. ACS Technical Products produces a range of bio-based plasticizers to suit a variety of applications—from low to high molecular weight—that are engineered to deliver a variety of performance properties. Unlike conventional ester plasticizers, our products are phthalate-free and do not have the adverse health and
- What is an ester plasticizer?
- An ester plasticizer, in its simplest concept, is a high-boiling organic solvent that when added to an elastomeric polymer reduces stiffness and permits easier processing.1 For general performance applications, compounders require moderate performance in several areas without particular emphasis on any one.
- What is a general performance ester plasticizer?
- Some general performance ester plasticizers used in the marketplace today are DOA, DIDA, DIDP, DOP, DINP and other phthalates and adipates made from straight-chain alcohols of 7–11 carbons in length. Ester plasticizers are commonly used only for their as-molded, low-temperature contribution.
- How to choose a high-performance ester plasticizer?
- The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer. 1.
- Which plasticizer is best for acrylic elastomers?
- Table V highlights data from this study conducted by DuPont Dow Elastomers L.L.C. ®. DBEEEG, a high molecular weight glycol ether ester monomeric plasticizer, is commonly recommended for acrylic elastomers. In this study, A-1000A and A-1000B show they are equal or better than DBEEEG at softening efficiency and original low temperature.
- Can polymeric esters enhance a high-performance elastomer?
- One example of how polymeric esters can enhance a high-performance elastomer is depicted in Figure 3. High-saturated nitrile is used in many high-heat applications. The use of 8-10 trimellitate is well documented as the plasticizer of choice for HNBR.
- Are plasticizers suitable for elastomers and high-temperature polymers?
- Plasticizers commonly used for the traditional and the high-temperature polymers are extractable, incompatible or too volatile. This paper provides information on plasticizers that are designed for traditional elastomers and high-performance polymers.
