Highly Functional Plasticizers/Modifiers | Business & Products | DIC
DIC's highly functional plasticizers/modifiers are suited to product development that accommodates non-PVC applications, especially in the fields of information technology, optics, and automobiles that continue dramatic growth in recent years. DIC stocks proven products to modify resins such as rubber, urethane, acrylic, PET, and PC.
PET Modifier A-51, A-55 | Highly Functional Plasticizers/Modifiers
Highly Functional Plasticizers/Modifiers PET Modifier A-51, A-55 PET Modifier A-51, A-55 PET modifier A-51 and A-55 are solid ester oligomers developed for the purpose of improving the melt flow characteristics of PET resins. Polycizer A-55 increases A-51's intrinsic viscosity and decreases volatile components. Features
Highly Functional Plasticizers/Modifiers - DIC Corporation
Highly Functional Plasticizers/Modifiers Sealants W-150, PB-10 Sealants W-150, PB-10 W-150 and PB-10 are used as plasticizers for sealants used in building and residential exterior walls, windows, roofs, tiles, floors, around sinks, and elevators. Many products are stocked under W-150.
Additives and Chemicals | Business & Products | DIC Corporation
DIC has a broad range of polymer modifiers that includes plasticizers, stabilizers, processing aids, and highly functional modifiers. We are working to meet the challenge of developing superior products that aim for even higher quality and functionality based on techniques that have been cultivated over the years. Representative Products
- Are biopolymers a good substitute for conventional plasticizers?
- The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers, such as phthalates and other synthetic conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
- 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 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.
- 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.
- What types of plasticizers are used in hydrophilic polymers?
- In addition to water, the most commonly used plasticizers are polyols, mono-, di- and oligosaccharides. Polyols have been found to be particularly effective for use in plasticized hydrophilic polymers .
