K-Flex | Optimized plasticizers | LANXESS
K-FLEX plasticizers are mainly used in protective coatings such as underbody protection and seam sealers. They are more effective at gelling PVC than common standard plasticizers. As a result, they allow shorter cycle times or lower processing temperatures, making production more efficient.

The surface of PVC floors tends to become sticky with ... S.-Y. Unentangled Star-Shape poly (ε-caprolactone) s as phthalate-free PVC plasticizers designed for non-toxicity and improved migration
- Is polyvinyl chloride (PVC) a good plasticizer?
- In terms of worldwide consumption polyvinyl chloride (PVC) stands in third place behind polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). Thank to the development of a wide range of functional additives, in particular thank to effective plasticizers PVC could achieve this important commercial relevance.
- Why do we use plasticizers?
- Thus for well over 50 years plasticizers have been playing a significant role in the manufacture of soft PVC products for the most versatile applications from floor coverings to roof membranes, cable insulation to blood bags.
- Are flexidone plastisols more efficient than standard plasticizers?
- Gelling curves of PVC plastisols (50 phr plasticizer) with various mixtures of Vestinol 9 and Flexidone100, 300, DBP and BBP. 5. Conclusion It could be shown, that Flexidone’s are very efficient PVC plasticizers. They are up to 50% more efficient than standard plasticizer.
- Which phthalate plasticizers are the most popular?
- With a market share of approximately 85 % phthalate plasticizers — di-2-ethyl hexyl phthalate (DEHP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP) and diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) — represent the most significant class of plasticizers at present. They are the all-rounders amongst plasticizers.
- What is flexidone plasticizer?
- Therefore the Flexidone family of plasticizers represents breakthrough technology in “cold flex” performance of plastics. Depending on the application, it can offer a great deal more. Flexidone plasticizers expand the options in PVC formulation, manufacturing and end-product design.
- Why are fillers used in Plasticized PVC?
- Fillers are used in plasticized PVC to reduce costs, and also to facilitate a special change in properties so that the compound largely meets the requirements of the end products (Hohenberger, 2001). Among the fillers, calcium carbonate, with a worldwide market share of approximately 70%, plays the dominant role.
