  • Why do plasticizers soften polymer compounds?
  • Plasticizers soften polymer compounds in order to improve processing, lower compound viscosity and increase the flexibility of polymer compounds. Because there is a wide range of chemicals used as processing aids and plasticizers, the individual properties of each compounding material can differ greatly.
  • What are processing aids & plasticizers?
  • Processing aids and plasticizers are chemical additives used in compounds to increase the plasticity, fluidity or lubrication of a material. These processing aids are suitable for use in plastics and rubber compounds.
  • What are plasticizers used for?
  • Most plasticizers are esters that are created when acids react with alcohols, and the amount added affects the finished product. For example, vinyl gloves consist of around 50% plasticizers so they are pliable and comfortable to wear. Often, minerals such as calcium carbonate, silica, clay, kaolin and carbon are added as fillers to polymers.
  • What is polystyrene used for?
  • Polystyrene, or PS is a commodity resin mainly used in the form of lightweight, rigid foams and films, but also available in regular polystyrene plastic. It is versatile, easy-to-process and an economical polymer that offers a lightweight but durable material with strong insulation properties.
  • Can plasticizers be used in PVC?
  • Plasticizers are particularly useful in PVC, but can be used in other polymers such as synthetic rubbers, synthetic rubber derivatives and other polar polymers such as polystyrene and ABS.
  • Which processing aids are suitable for use in plastics and rubber compounds?
  • These processing aids are suitable for use in plastics and rubber compounds. Plasticizers soften polymer compounds in order to improve processing, lower compound viscosity and increase the flexibility of polymer compounds.
