Plasticizer - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Plasticizer efficiency is used to describe the ability of a plasticizer to make the product softer and is reported as a ratio of the slope of the hardness versus plasticized concentration to the slope of that found for DOP. The relationship of hardness and plasticizer concentration expressed in phr (parts per hundred resin) is shown in Figure 3.

Efficiency Table 1 compares several plasticizers and coalescents and denotes their compatibility with solventborne and/or waterborne coatings. It indicates there is little difference in plasticizer efficiency in solvent-based coatings. The efficiencies of these plasticizers were evaluated by adding the plasticizer at five different
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer by decreasing the viscosity of the polymer melt, the glass transition temperature (Tg), the melting temperature (Tm) and the elastic modulus of the finished product without altering the fundamental chemical character of the plasticized material.
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.

Just 16% of plastic waste is recycled to make new plastics, while 40% is sent to landfill, 25% to incineration and 19% is dumped. Much of the plastic that could be recycled – such as...
- Which plasticizer has the best plasticizing efficiency?
- It's worth noting that PSCH has the best plasticizing efficiency attributed to the C–Cl bond on the side. According to the similar compatibility principle, except for hydrogen bonding, the existence of C–Cl bond in PSCH increases the compatibility of plasticizer and PVC.
- What is plasticizer efficiency?
- Plasticizer efficiency is defined as a measure of the concentration of plasticizer required to impart a specified softness to a polymer.
- How can plasticizers be used in industrial applications?
- External plasticization using low molecular weight plasticizers is the most widely applied approach in industrial applications. The glass transition temperatures and the mechanical properties (elastic modulus) of CA systems with different plasticizer contents are reported in Table 2.
- Which polymeric plasticizer is best for acrylics?
- Polymeric plasticizers that are efficient in lowering hardness, provide good low-temperature properties and have low volatility in both post-cure and heat aging are ideal candidates for acrylics. Two polymeric plasticizers that meet these requirements are polyester adipates with a molecular weight of 1000.
- Why are plasticizers added to ca?
- Plasticizers are added to CA to increase workability, prevent degradation under processing conditions and ensure thermo-mechanical properties suitable for the intended final application. Moreover, inexpensive and non-toxic solvents enable its processing into fibers, films, and solid blocks.
- Can plasticizers reduce material degradation over time?
- The design of new plasticizers compatible with the polymer at high concentrations, tailored to be effective in lowering the glass transition temperature, and with a low tendency to migration could considerably reduce material degradation over time.
