Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Extenders are a subset of secondary plasticizers. They are commonly employed with primary plasticizers to reduce costs in general purpose flexible PVC. They are mostly low cost oils having limited compatibility in PVC. They are added to reduce cost and in some cases to improve fire resistance.
Phthalate ester plasticizers in freshwater systems of Venda
Phthalate ester plasticizers were determined in rivers and dams of the Venda region, South Africa. Liquid-liquid extraction, column chromatographic clean-up and capillary gas chromatography were the methods used for the quantitative analyses.
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.

- How are ester plasticizers selected?
- Ester plasticizers are selected based upon cost/performance evaluation. The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer.
- Why do we use ester plasticizers?
- Ester plasticizers make it possible to process elastomers easily while also providing flexibility in the end-use product. Plasticizer–elastomer interaction is governed by many factors, such as solubility parameter, molecular weight and chemical structure. Ester plasticizers are selected based upon cost/performance evaluation.

- Which plasticizer is best for acrylic elastomers?
- Table V highlights data from this study conducted by DuPont Dow Elastomers L.L.C. ®. DBEEEG, a high molecular weight glycol ether ester monomeric plasticizer, is commonly recommended for acrylic elastomers. In this study, A-1000A and A-1000B show they are equal or better than DBEEEG at softening efficiency and original low temperature.
- How to choose a high-performance ester plasticizer?
- The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer. 1.
