  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Are flexidones cold flexible?
  • Cold Flexibility with the Flexidones was checked by the Folding test DIN EN 495-5. Further trials in filled systems showed that Flexidones are highly compatible with e.g. calcium carbonate and allow very high filler loads with outstanding mechanical properties.
  • Are flexidone mixtures better than other phthalate-free systems?
  • As a function of the ratio of mixture indentation hardness, tensile properties and gelling properties (plastisol) have been evaluated. Compared to common systems, these new Flexidone mixtures surpass the performance characteristics and are superior to most of the phthalate and phthalate free systems.
  • Does flexidone/CL-ester reduce plasticizing efficiency?
  • Although the plasticizing efficiency reduces with increasing Cl-ester content, even Flexidone/Cl-ester-mixtures with very high Cl-ester content show Shore A values similar to a sample with the same amount of DINP (see figure 17).
  • How does flexidone 100 affect viscosity?
  • Each part of Flexidone 100 causes approximately 2°C drop so that a blend of Vestinol 9/Flexidone 100 at a ratio of 40/10 reduces the gel temperature by 20°C. The viscosity profile is at the same time not affected at all and only after storage for a long time a small increase in viscosity could be seen.
