Plasticizer
Plasticizers are commonly manufactured from lignosulfonates, a by-product from the paper industry. Superplasticizers have generally been manufactured from sulfonated naphthalene condensate or sulfonated melamine formaldehyde, although newer products based on polycarboxylic ethers are now available.

- What is a primary plasticizer & a secondary plasticizer?
- Plasticizers are used to convert PVC, a rigid plastic, into a soft, flexible, and elastic material. A plasticizer that is compatible with PVC and exhibits low volatility, good permanence, and high efficiency is referred to as a primary plasticizer. A secondary plasticizer has the opposite characteristics of a primary plasticizer.
- What plasticizers are used to make a material flame retardant?
- Phosphates are used to make a material flame retardant. Fatty acid esters are added to rubber and vinyl to improve flexibility. There are over 8 million tons of plasticizers used each year, and most of those are added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
- 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.
- What are plasticizers & superplasticizers?
- In the concrete technology, plasticizers and superplasticizers are also called high range water reducers. When added to concrete mixtures, they confer a number of properties including improved workability and strength. The strength of concrete is inversely proportional to the amount of water added, i.e., the water-cement (w/c) ratio.
- What industries use plasticizers?
- You'll find plastics with plasticizers in almost every industry, including: Telecommunications to form durable, low-friction, flexible casing to go around wires and cables. Despite it's name, plasticizers are also used in rubber and adhesives, and most surprising, they're also used in concrete and stucco.
- Why are plasticizers used in film coating?
- Plasticizers are low molecular weight substances added to a polymer solution to promote its plasticity and flexibility. Therefore, the plasticizers make the polymer solution more suitable for the application of film coating. There should be chemical similarities between the polymers and its plasticizers.
