Plasticizer
Plasticizers are commonly manufactured from lignosulfonates, a by-product from the paper industry. Superplasticizers have generally been manufactured from sulfonated naphthalene condensate or sulfonated melamine formaldehyde, although newer products based on polycarboxylic ethers are now available.
Eastman 168 SG (Sensitive Grade) Non-Phthalate Plasticizer
Product description Eastman 168 SG non-phthalate plasticizer is an enhanced grade of the industry-leading Eastman 168 non-phthalate plasticizer, specifically targeted at more demanding applications such as medical devices, toys, childcare articles, and food contact applications.
KURARAY LIQUID RUBBER - Elastomer Division | Specialty Chemicals
The high-viscosity synthetic rubbers are colorless, transparent, almost completely odorless and have low VOC values. The polymers of butadiene, isoprene and styrene have a low molecular weight, which is designed between solid rubber and plasticizer. KURARAY LIQUID RUBBER grades are co-vulcanizable with the base rubber to prevent migration.
Polypropylene (PP) - Types, Properties, Uses & Structure
Polypropylene (PP) is a tough, rigid, and crystalline thermoplastic. It is made from propene (or propylene) monomer. This linear hydrocarbon resin is the lightest polymer among all commodity plastics. PP comes either as a homopolymer or as a copolymer and can be greatly boosted with additives. PP has become a material of choice when you are
- What is a primary plasticizer?
- A primary plasticizer enhances elongation, softness and flexibility of polymer. They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear.
- What is a plasticizer chemistry?
- Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
- How to choose a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC?
- While selecting a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC, the main attributes to be checked are: Among them, regulation is an important decision factor while selecting plasticizers. In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on phthalate plasticizers. But in fact, not all phthalates are prohibited.
- What is a polymeric plasticizer?
- Polymeric plasticizers are typically made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and diols. They are primarily valued for their permanence. These plasticizers are generally classified as polyesters, not adipates. Many have low solvency for PVC and high viscosity. Both these factors can make processing f-PVC compounds difficult.
- Are polymeric plasticizers adipates?
- These plasticizers are generally classified as polyesters, not adipates. Many have low solvency for PVC and high viscosity. Both these factors can make processing f-PVC compounds difficult. Many have poor low-temperature properties and may be sensitive to moisture. Check out the table below for the benefits of polymeric plasticizers.
- What is DOTP plasticizer?
- DOTP is a primary non-phthalic plasticizer resulting from the esterification of 2 Ethyl Hexanol with Terephthalic Acid. It offers good mechanical properties and permanence. It provides excellent flexibility, good dielectric properties and similar volatility to DOP. It is suitable for cable cover, vinyl floors and other flexible applications.
