  • Why are plasticizers added to plastics?
  • Plasticizers are added to plastics to increase the plasticity or fluidity of a polymer. Plasticizers are also added to make formulations softer, more flexible, less brittle, more elastic and to reduce the melting point and melt viscosity of the polymer.
  • 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 is the most common additive in plastic?
  • The most common additive in plastic are plasticizers. These are typically liquid, non-volatile organic substances that improve flexibility, particularly when thermoforming, shaping, and molding. Most often used in PVC, plasticized PVC is in automotive thermoforming, flooring, roofing, and cables.
  • 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 the benefits of a polymeric plasticizer?
  • The range includes both monomeric and polymeric plasticizers to enable customers to choose the optimum solution based on their requirements. Benefits of this range include low temperature performance, low viscosity, low extractability and low volatility.
  • 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.
