K-Flex plasticizers optimize production processes and end product properties. They are highly compatible with polar polymers in water-based adhesive systems and improve film formation in paints and coatings. During the manufacture of PVC articles, the rapid-gelling dibenzoates can help to speed up processing.
K-FLEX 500P - The Chemical Company
Like other K-Flex plasticizers, the K-Flex 500P will offer the paint formulator a viable option to the more volatile coalescents such as 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate or even low VOC types such as triethylene glycol di-2-ethylhexanoate. K-Flex 500P can significantly reduce VOCs.
- Are K-flex® plasticizers a good choice?
- QUALITY PERFORMS. K-FLEX® plasticizers and coalescents are known for their excellent value and balance of performance properties. They are non-phthalate, low in VOCs, and have positive attributes from a product safety and health perspective compared to other choices.
- Are K-flex plasticizers phthalate-free?
- are an excellent phthalate-free solution for formulators looking to satisfy both legislative requirements and consumer demand. K-FLEX plasticizers offer equal or superior performance over other recognized plasticizers and coalescents in a wide range of applications including adhesives, caulks, sealants, coatings, and vinyl/plastisol applications.
- What are K-flex® dibenzoate esters?
- K-FLEX® dibenzoate esters are non-phthalate plasticizers, modifiers, and coalescents. They are compatible with a wide range of polymers and are commonly used in adhesives, sealants, coatings, paints, flooring, wall coverings, synthetic leather, and personal care.
- Can K-flex® DP plasticizers be used in food packaging?
- No values were provided for the individual dibenzoates. K-FLEX® DP Plasticizers can be safely used as plasticizers in food packaging adhesives; in paper and paper coatings in contact with dry foods; and/or, in certain instances in paper and paperboard coatings in contact with aqueous and fatty foods.
- What is a blend of K-flex® plasticizers?
- Blends of K-FLEX® plasticizers with general purpose-type plasticizers – or with other specialty plasticizers such as adipates and citrates – are often used to take advan-tage of the exceptional properties of the K-FLEX® plasticizers.
- Which polymers are used in K-Flex® Products?
- This makes K-FLEX® products highly efec-tive in many of the most widely used non-olefin based polymers: PVC, polyvinyl-acetate, polyvinyl-acetate/ethylene copolymers, acrylic, styrenated acrylic, styrene-butadiene, polysulfide, nitrocellulose, nitrile, and polyurethane.
