Their viscosity–temperature curve is very flat. These plasticizers with special good resistance to low temperatures are used whenever a plasticized polymer is required to have high flexibility even at sub-zero temperatures. Typical low temperature plasticizers include Adimoll adipates, Uniplex sebacates and Disflamoll TOF. Compatibility
Eastman Plasticizers for Polyurethanes
Benzoflex 9-88 is a high solvating benzoate ester plasticizer that can be used in a wide variety of polymer systems and applications. Its diverse uses include resilient flooring, adhesives, caulks, and sealants. Benzoflex 9-88 SG is recommended for cast urethane applications that require minimum cure interference and maximum compatibility.
Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Abstract Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been widely used in the world. Petroleum-based plasticizers especially phthalates have been the most common plasticizers used in PVC. However, the global petroleum resources are becoming scarce gradually, and the hygienic requirements for plasticizers are increasing. Owing to the negative impact of petroleum-based plasticizers on human health
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
It is almost colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is very slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. while miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers used in PVC compounding. Melting point: 43°C (45°F; 230 K) Boiling point: 244-252°C at 0.7 kPa.
- What are low molecular weight plasticizers?
- Low molecular weight plasticizers are added before or during the processing to reduce the melt processing temperature. However, these low molecular weight plasticizers may have some drawbacks, such as volatility, high water solubility, and insufficient compatibility with CA.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- How to choose a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC?
- While selecting a general-purpose plasticizer for PVC, the main attributes to be checked are: Among them, regulation is an important decision factor while selecting plasticizers. In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on phthalate plasticizers. But in fact, not all phthalates are prohibited.
- 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.
