Plasticizers
In a wide variety of applications, BASF’s plasticizers help make numerous products flexible. At the same time, they ensure reliable protection against bad weather and extreme temperatures, helping the products to last longer, function better and maintain their value. When stability meets flexibility, it’s because at BASF, we create chemistry.

1. An Introduction To Plastics Additives. Every activity in modern life is influenced by plastics and many depend entirely on plastics products. Imagine cars without synthetic bumper, dashboards, steering wheels and switches; medicine without plastic hypodermic syringes and artificial hip joints.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Plasticizers are among the most widely used additives in the plastic industry. They are also usually cheaper than other additives used in polymer processing. Plasticizers are most often used in PVC, the third largest polymer by volume after PP and PE. In turn, PVC is used in a wide range of products. Examples include:
Selecting Plasticizers for Adhesives and Sealants
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.

- What are plasticizers and polymer additives?
- Our lab is prepared to produce what you need. Plasticizers and polymer additives are widely used to improve the manufacture and performance of materials in desired end products. In some countries certain plasticizers, mainly phthalates, are banned, as these substances are suspected of causing a wide range of health issues.
- What are plasticizers & modifiers?
- Plasticizers and Modifiers are part of the Polymer Additive Business Unit and comprise of a wide range of high-quality products under the brand names Mesamoll ®, Adimoll ®, Unimoll ®, Ultramoll ®, K-FLEX ®, Vitroflex ®, Modulast ®, Uniplex ®, Triacetin, Acetine, and Baymod®. Mesamoll ® is a phthalate-free universal monomeric plasticizer.
- How are plasticizers classified?
- Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types. The choice of the plasticizer is dependent on the requirements that have to be met for the final product and the conditions around that product’s use.
- How can plasticizers be used to make polymers soft and flexible?
- By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature. Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types.
- How to choose a plasticizer?
- The choice of the plasticizer is dependent on the requirements that have to be met for the final product and the conditions around that product’s use. This may include low volatility, high permanence, low temperature flexibility, flame retardancy, high thermal stability and saponification resistance.
