Plasticizers. Plasticizers ensure elasticity and flexibility of polymer materials. But this is not their only benefit. Plasticizers also optimize, for example, the processing properties of polymer materials, which leads to improved product quality or even new properties. The choice of plasticizers depends on the demand placed on the finished
Mesamoll | The universal plasticizer | LANXESS
Mesamoll is a non-phthalate, well-gelling and exceptionally saponification-resistant universal plasticizer for a wide range of polymers, such as PVC, PUR and rubber. Plasticizers By incorporation of plasticizers into compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that it becomes soft and flexible, even at sub-zero temperatures.
Advanced Medical-Grade Compounds - PVC plasticizers - Tekni-Plex
The three prominent PVC plasticizers are DEHP, DINP and DIDP and they are all dialkyl ortho-phthalates. Over the last 60 years, the most common plasticizer used to soften PVC compounds used for medical devices has been DEHP Di-2 ethyl hexyl phthalate.
PVC Plasticizers and Stabilizers Following Safer Sustainable
Evonik’s Plasticizer Products for Improved Gelation for Soft PVC Formulations Starting, Evonik offers three plasticizer products of note, namely: VESTINOL 9 DINP is a very cost-effective, general-purpose plasticizer very useful in soft PVC formulations with a broad processing temperature window.
Eastman Plasticizers for Adhesives
Admex 6995 is a medium molecular weight, light colored, polymeric adipate with a mild ester odor. Benzoflex 9-88 is a high solvating benzoate ester plasticizer that can be used in a wide variety of polymer systems and applications. Its diverse uses include resilient flooring, adhesives, caulks, and sealants.
- What are the characteristics of polymeric plasticizers?
- Polymeric plasticizers: their main characteristic is the high migration resistance (both in contact with oils, fats and hydrocarbons, and with thermoplastic materials), a good resistance to high temperatures and a low volatility.
- What are some examples of plasticizers for PVC?
- Some examples of plasticizers for PVC are represented by the following categories: Phthalates: they are characterized by a particular ease of manipulation and gelation and a high efficiency and volatility; they are among the most used molecules in the field of 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.
- What are plasticizers & how do they work?
- The plasticizers are organic substances with various characteristics, whose main function is to intercalate the rigid polymer structures of material such as PVC for an easy movement and flexibility, making them more precisely "plastics."
- What are polymers and plastic materials?
- Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins in the form of pellets, powders or liquid resins. These materials can then be molded into a variety of shapes for a wide range of uses.

- 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.
