K-Flex plasticizers optimize production processes and end product properties. They are highly compatible with polar polymers in water-based adhesive systems and improve film formation in paints and coatings. During the manufacture of PVC articles, the rapid-gelling dibenzoates can help to speed up processing.

- What are K-flex plasticizers used for?
- K-FLEX plasticizers offer equal or superior performance over other recognized plasticizers and coalescents in a wide range of applications including adhesives, caulks, sealants, coatings, and vinyl/plastisol applications. Lower gelation/ fusion temp. Ask us about our wide global inventory status.
- Are K-flex plasticizers phthalate-free?
- are an excellent phthalate-free solution for formulators looking to satisfy both legislative requirements and consumer demand. K-FLEX plasticizers offer equal or superior performance over other recognized plasticizers and coalescents in a wide range of applications including adhesives, caulks, sealants, coatings, and vinyl/plastisol applications.
- What are K-flex® dibenzoate esters?
- K-FLEX® dibenzoate esters are non-phthalate plasticizers, modifiers, and coalescents. They are compatible with a wide range of polymers and are commonly used in adhesives, sealants, coatings, paints, flooring, wall coverings, synthetic leather, and personal care.
- Why should you use K-flex® plasticizers for PVC?
- These very high solvators for PVC are fast fusing and will increase pro-cessing speed and lower processing temperatures. K-FLEX® plasticizers also provide superior wear perfor-mance, increased stain resistance and resistance to extraction by solvents such as kerosene, olive oil and other non-polar materials.
- What is a blend of K-flex® plasticizers?
- Blends of K-FLEX® plasticizers with general purpose-type plasticizers – or with other specialty plasticizers such as adipates and citrates – are often used to take advan-tage of the exceptional properties of the K-FLEX® plasticizers.
- Is K flex a registered trademark?
- K-FLEX® is a registered trademark of Emerald Kalama Chemical for its line of Non-phthalate Plasticizers and Coalescents. K-FLEX® is also a registered trademark of King Industries, Inc. for its line of Polyester and Urethane Polyols and Resin Modifiers.
