Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
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.

Plasticizers . Plasticizers are processing oils and waxes used primarily to adjust the viscosity and melt-rate of a product. However, they also help set the adhesive and cohesive properties; modify the open time; and provide additional flexibility. In PSA formulations, oils are usually added, while in EVA hot melts, waxes are preferred

It is almost colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is very slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. while miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers used in PVC compounding. Melting point: 43°C (45°F; 230 K) Boiling point: 244-252°C at 0.7 kPa.

Control Oil and Plasticizer Bleed A-C performance additives feature a unique ability to hold oils that can bleed from your adhesive, which helps to maintain the strength of the adhesive and preserves the aesthetics of paper and labeling. They can also reduce plasticizer bleeding from PVC films, allowing the adhesive to attach more easily to the
