Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
There are two main groups of external plasticizers: 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:
- What are plasticizers & stabilizers?
- Plasticizers are one of the key materials which improve the characteristics of the final products such as flexibility, which would not be realized without it, to PVC and rubbers. PVC stabilizers are one of the essential materials for PVC to improve processability and characteristics of PVC products.
- What are plasticizers & how do they work?
- Plasticizers are non-volatile organic substances (mainly liquids) added into a plastic or elastomer. They are also usually cheaper than other additives. They improve the following properties of the polymers: Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer.
- 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.
- What is a plasticizer used for in PVC?
- Plasticizers are added to raw polymers to make them flexible. They have different applications in various industries, including coatings, Paints, and Pharmaceuticals. Which plasticizer is suitable for use in PVC?
- Which plasticizers are registered TR R-series?
- t) of total compoundDioplex®, Paraplex® and Plasthall® are registered tr R-SERIES INFORMATIONHallstar’s innovative Plasthall® PR-Series of plasticizers is on the leading edge of phthalate re lacement technology.
