Bioplastics for a circular economy | Nature Reviews Materials
The plastics industry has traditionally been based on linear life cycles (grey arrows): crude oil is cracked and refined into monomers and polymer products using fossil energy, which, at their end
Petrochemicals
The Petrochemicals division is the cornerstone of BASF’s petrochemical-based value chains throughout the regions. The division manufactures and markets a broad portfolio of high-quality basic chemicals and tailored specialties for internal and external customers. To contribute to BASF’s net zero CO2 emissions goal, we offer some of our
Arkema acrylates | Arkema Sartomer
Acrylate monomers are high performance: reactive diluents. building blocks for polymerization. Sartomer products offer a unique set of chemical structures: Mono to multifunctional. Linear to branched aliphatic. Cycloaliphatic to aromatic. Alkoxylated alkyl and aryl. Dual functionalities (hydroxyl, allyl…)
Radical Polymerization of Acrylates, Methacrylates, and
The kinetics of the radical polymerization process of reacting acrylic monomers, methacrylic monomers, and styrene is reviewed. Classical elementary mechanisms are briefly discussed, while focus is put on secondary chemical reactions that influence rates greatly at elevated system temperatures, starved-feed conditions, and unideal-mixed reactor
Acrylates and Methacrylates supplier and distributor - Parchem
The high-quality acrylates supplied by Parchem can be found in the acrylic materials we use every day. From PVC piping and packaging plastics to industrial paints and adhesives, Parchem’s acrylate monomers, polymers, and derivatives serve as chemical building blocks for industries essential to today’s marketplace.
- 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.
- Is 2-octyl acrylate a bio-based monomer?
- Therefore, 2-Octyl Acrylate is one of the few bio-based monomers which can be used in both standard and high-performance applications. The high purity of BASF’s 2-Octyl Acrylate provides a reliably high quality with low non-polymerizable volatile organic content (VOC) and enables customers to use the monomer in a broad application range.
- 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.
- Why should you choose BASF acrylic monomers?
- Part of our life. Part of your success. BASF is the world’s largest producer of Acrylic Monomers. Our products have a wide range of applications and are used in various end products including paints, lacquers, adhesives, water treatment products, plastics, detergents and textile fibers.
- Are polymeric plasticizers adipates?
- 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. Many have poor low-temperature properties and may be sensitive to moisture. Check out the table below for the benefits of polymeric plasticizers.
- 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:
