Eastman Products Enhance Adhesives & Sealants Performance
From resins to polymers to plasticizers, Eastman products enhance the performance of a wide variety of adhesive, sealant, and caulk formulations. Tackifying resins and polymers provide the ability to modify the properties of the final adhesive product to fit specific performance parameters.
Eastman Plasticizers for Polysulfide Glazing Sealants & Caulks
Eastman has the widest range of benzoate plasticizers in the industry, providing an optimal balance of performance and value. For example, Benzoflex LC-531 plasticizer was designed to pass the stringent performance requirements outlined in ASTM C-920 and ASTM C-834, as well as in nonspecification caulks.
Benzoflex 2088 Benzoate Plasticizer by Eastman: Technical
Benzoflex 2088 plasticizer by Eastman is a high solvating plasticizer known for its exceptional performance in PVC, polyvinyl acetate and water-based adhesive systems. Offers excellent wet tack, set times and open times and also improves adhesion in acrylic latex caulks.
Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
Plasticizers are one of the commonly used additives in adhesives and sealants formulations. They improve the performance of adhesives by creating much-needed flexibility, optimizing viscosity, toughness, set time functionality, impact resistance, and even adhesion.
Adhesive and sealant formulation and ingredients | Univar
Adhesives and sealants are key and core to almost every product we use, every day. Unless something is grown or developed from a single piece of substrate, attachment is necessary when creating most any product. As products in this world become ever more complex, attachment requirements become greater along with a need for higher efficiency.
- Are Eastman plasticizers phthalate based?
- Eastman offers a diverse portfolio of non-phthalate, high-solvating plasticizers to help adhesive manufacturers meet performance and regulatory challenges. Our benzoate-based Benzoflex™ plasticizers have become the standard of excellence for the industry by providing the optimal balance of performance and value for water-based adhesives.
- Is Eastman benzoflex a non Phthalate plasticizer?
- If you're looking for a non-phthalate alternative, Eastman has a wide variety of non-phthalate plasticizers to serve different needs. Eastman Benzoflex™ plasticizer is a simple replacement for plasticizers such as BBP, DBP, DIHP and DIB.
- Is Eastman versabond better than phthalate based plasticizers?
- Home ... Eastman VersaBond™ is an efficient and easy replacement for phthalate-based plasticizers in polysulfide sealants for insulated glass. When compared with both phthalate and benzoate plasticizers, VersaBond has comparable or better performance for Shore A hardness, viscosity, and tensile strength.
- Which benzoflex plasticizer is best?
- Eastman’s Benzoflex™1046 and Benzoflex™ 354 plasticizers have been proven to promote excellent paintability. Benzoflex™ plasticizer
