Renewable Plasticisers | Hallstar - Hallstar Industrial
HallGreenproducts function as process aids as well as polymer and impact modifiers. They improve processing by reducing melt viscosity/temperature, and energy consumption. As polymer/impact modifiers, they reduce brittleness, improve impact resistance and improve extruder flow rates and throughputs.
- How are ester plasticizers selected?
- Ester plasticizers are selected based upon cost/performance evaluation. The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer.
- Why do we use ester plasticizers?
- Ester plasticizers make it possible to process elastomers easily while also providing flexibility in the end-use product. Plasticizer–elastomer interactions are governed by many factors, such as solubility parameter, molecular weight and chemical structure. Ester plasticizers are selected based upon a cost/performance evaluation.
- What is a general performance ester plasticizer?
- Some general performance ester plasticizers used in the marketplace today are DOA, DIDA, DIDP, DOP, DINP and other phthalates and adipates made from straight-chain alcohols of 7–11 carbons in length. Ester plasticizers are commonly used only for their as-molded, low-temperature contribution.
- How to choose a high-performance ester plasticizer?
- The rubber compounder must evaluate ester plasticizers for compatibility, processability, permanence and performance properties. The study of these properties by the rubber compounder will contribute to the selection of a high-performance ester plasticizer. 1.
- Do fluorocarbon elastomers accept ester plasticizers?
- Fluorocarbon elastomers will accept a relatively wide range of ester plasticizers, but here, with both the high temperature post cure and application temperatures ranging to 232°C, they find use only at very low levels for processing. The selection of an ester plasticizer can often be confusing because of the large choice available.
- Which plasticizers are used in combination with specialty monomeric esters?
- Flame-retardant plasticizers, phosphate esters and chlorinated paraffins are often combined in usage with flame-retardant plasticizers frequently used in combination with specialty monomeric esters. Both materials are inefficient plasticizers, thus explaining their combinations with specialty monomerics.
