Plasticizers are commonly added to polymers, such as plastics and rubbers, to facilitate handling during production or meet the end product's application demands. They make the raw material softer and more flexible, increase its plasticity and decrease viscosity or friction.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Most common plasticiser chemistries include citrates, benzoates, ortho-phthalates, terephthalates, adipates, azelates, sebacates, and trimellitates. Plasticizers are the most common additives used in the plastics industry. But, selecting the right plasticizer for an application has always been a daunting task.
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.
Rubber > Plasticizers and Processing Aids - Vanderbilt Chemicals
Vanderbilt Chemicals, LLC has processing aids for rubber which reduce plasticity, improve mold flow and release, without adversely affecting physical properties. They also reduce compound plasticity, improves mold flow and release, has little effect on optimum physical properties.
- 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:
- Which plasticizer is best for nitrile rubber?
- Special application information to note on our plasticizer brands in nitrile rubber : Plasthall ® 7050 – Fuel B resistance, LT, HT, oil resistance, limited use with low ACN. Poor water resistance. Plasthall ® 83SS – Fuel C resistance, LT, HT. Plasthall ® 4141 – Good unaged and heat aged LT, #3 oil resistance, FDA Regulation 177.2600.
- 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 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 are natural product type plasticizers?
- Vegetable oil derivatives are the most widely used natural product type plasticizers. Products consisting of triglyceride esters of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil) in which the double bonds in the fatty acid residues have typically been epoxidized have been commercial products for decades.
