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.

Some plasticizers develop a high potential regarding scope of use, but they are designed for a specific use. Unimoll AGF, our largely bio based plasticizer, was developed for the use in articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. Our Uniplex Benzoates are mainly solid special plasticizers used in hot-melt adhesive & equipment
Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
Plasticizers will reduce the melt viscosity of hot-melt adhesives and 100% solids adhesives & sealants. However, the addition of certain plasticizers to a polymeric emulsion will usually result in increased viscosity. This effect can be used to formulate a waterborne adhesive having greater coating thickness build-up.
Payflex Series Plasticizers - High Quality Plasticizers For Industrial
In simple terms, a plasticizer is a solid substance or low volatility liquid added to a range of raw polymers used in the market like rubber or plastic. Plasticizers are used to enhance the overall flexibility of the product while reducing friction and making it easy for the polymer to bend and mould.
Selection of Solid-State Plasticizers as Processing Aids
Based on comparable solubility parameters, stearic acid, glyceryl behenate, and polyethylene glycol 8000 were selected as solid-state plasticizers. Binary and ternary physical mixtures were evaluated as a function of plasticizer concentration for thermal and rheological behavior.
- What is a solid state plasticizer?
- Based on comparable solubility parameters, stearic acid, glyceryl behenate, and polyethylene glycol 8000 were selected as solid-state plasticizers. Binary and ternary physical mixtures were evaluated as a function of plasticizer concentration for thermal and rheological behavior.
- Which solid-state plasticizers are used in a chemistry study?
- Solubility parameters, thermal analysis, and rheological evaluation were used as assessment tools. Based on comparable solubility parameters, stearic acid, glyceryl behenate, and polyethylene glycol 8000 were selected as solid-state plasticizers.
- How can plasticizers be used to make polymers soft and flexible?
- By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature. Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types.
- How to select solid-state plasticizer?
- The selection of solid-state plasticizer should include miscibility of plasticizer in polymer as well as API and its effect on T g and η 0 of the final system. It can be summarized that when components are miscible, different techniques will lead to the consistent plasticization effect prediction.
- How are plasticizers classified?
- Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types. The choice of the plasticizer is dependent on the requirements that have to be met for the final product and the conditions around that product’s use.
- What are plasticizers & modifiers?
- Plasticizers and Modifiers are part of the Polymer Additive Business Unit and comprise of a wide range of high-quality products under the brand names Mesamoll ®, Adimoll ®, Unimoll ®, Ultramoll ®, K-FLEX ®, Vitroflex ®, Modulast ®, Uniplex ®, Triacetin, Acetine, and Baymod®. Mesamoll ® is a phthalate-free universal monomeric plasticizer.
