Selection of Solid-State Plasticizers as Processing Aids
The objective of the study was to select solid-state plasticizers for hot-melt extrusion (HME) process. The physical and mechanical properties of plasticizers, in selected binary (polymer:plasticizer) and ternary (active pharmaceutical ingredient:polymer:plasticizer) systems, were evaluated to asses
Adhesives 101: The Basic Composition of Hot Melts - H.B. Fuller
Polymers. The polymer is considered to be the backbone of an adhesive system; it provides both strength and flexibility. Polymers also influence adhesion properties, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and compatibility. EVA polymers are typically included in hot melts intended for spine-gluing, side-gluing, and backlining applications.
- Are plasticizers toxic?
- Toxicity of some plasticizers has led to considerable environmental and political concern. Similar to diluents, plasticizers are non-volatile solvents for the base resin and by being incorporated into the formulation, they separate the polymer chains and enable their deformation to be more easily accomplished.
- 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 is a plasticizer used for?
- Plasticizers have been used to give polymers a permanent adhesive character (pressure sensitivity), or to regulate their adhesion-cohesion balance to achieve removability. For example, plasticizers can be incorporated into peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive to soften the adhesive, and thus improve peelability and clean removal.
- Are phthalate plasticizers bad for the environment?
- Phthalate plasticizers have been a target of worldwide scrutiny especially in the case of medical devices, food packaging, household items, and toys. Many government agencies are seeking to limit the amount of certain plasticizers that enter into the environment.
- Who is IPS-Israel polymers Services Ltd?
- IPS-Israel Polymers Services LTD (“IPS”) is a private owned company, established in 1994 by partners with polymers trading experience since 1985. IPS is trading, marketing and distributing plastic raw materials worldwide. IPS is an Israeli based company, active in sale and distribution in Israel and in the international plastic trading arena.
- What types of plasticizers are used in adhesives & sealants?
- Oils (like paraffinic, naphthenic, and aromatic) are used mainly as plasticizers in non-polar adhesives. These are generally used in the hot-melt adhesives and sealants. Base polymers include the mid-blocks of styrene-butadiene copolymers and polyolefin-based adhesives. Polymeric plasticizers are used frequently in adhesives and sealants.
