  • Why are plasticizers used in adhesives and sealants?
  • For example, plasticizers can be incorporated into peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive to soften the adhesive, and thus improve peelability and clean removal. Plasticizers, arguably, are asked to provide more functions in adhesives and sealants than they do in plastic articles.
  • What types of plasticizers are used in adhesives & sealants?
  • Oils (like paraffinic, naphthenic, and aromatic) are used mainly as plasticizers in non-polar adhesives. These are generally used in the hot-melt adhesives and sealants. Base polymers include the mid-blocks of styrene-butadiene copolymers and polyolefin-based adhesives. Polymeric plasticizers are used frequently in adhesives and sealants.
  • Do plasticizers reduce the viscosity of adhesives & sealants?
  • Plasticizers will reduce the melt viscosity of hot-melt adhesives and 100% solids adhesives & sealants. However, the addition of certain plasticizers to a polymeric emulsion will usually result in increased viscosity. This effect can be used to formulate a waterborne adhesive having greater coating thickness build-up.
  • Do plasticizers increase viscosity?
  • Viscosity Response Plasticizers will reduce the melt viscosity of hot-melt adhesives and 100% solids adhesives & sealants. However, the addition of certain plasticizers to a polymeric emulsion will usually result in increased viscosity.
  • Are plasticizers good for packaging?
  • Plasticizers can significantly shorten the set time and extend the open time for waterborne or hot-melt adhesives. Both effects are looked upon as improvements by the formulator as they are valued in many end-use applications including packaging.
  • Are plasticizers toxic?
  • Toxicity of some plasticizers has led to considerable environmental and political concern. Similar to diluents, plasticizers are non-volatile solvents for the base resin and by being incorporated into the formulation, they separate the polymer chains and enable their deformation to be more easily accomplished.
