Plastic additives are used in a wide variety of applications, including vinyl, blow-molding bottles, film, rigid containers, PVC plastics, siding, decks and rails, foam pipes and profile formulations, window frames and high-efficiency lubricants.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Plasticizers are most widely used additives in plastics. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer by decreasing the viscosity of the polymer melt.
Plasticizers – Benefits, Trends, Health, and Environmental
Plasticizers are colorless and odorless esters, mainly phthalates, that increase the elasticity of a material (e.g., polyvinylchloride (PVC)). Plasticizers soften the PVC to make it flexible and bendable. This opens up a huge range of possibilities for new applications.
