  • 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 is a plasticizer chemistry?
  • Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
  • Which plasticizers are the most important commercially?
  • This is why external plasticizers are the most important commercially. External plasticizers can be monomeric or polymeric. Examples for polymeric plasticizers are EVA, CPE, NBR and terpolymers or polyesters mainly based on adipic acid, diols and mono alcohols.
  • What is a polymeric plasticizer?
  • Polymeric plasticizers are typically made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and diols. They are primarily valued for their permanence. These plasticizers are generally classified as polyesters, not adipates. Many have low solvency for PVC and high viscosity. Both these factors can make processing f-PVC compounds difficult.
  • How are plasticizers classified?
  • Plasticizers are classified based on their chemical composition. It is important to understand the influence of structural elements on the properties of plasticizers and their effect on base polymers. For example, the presence of elements like alcohols in a homologous series of phthalates, and adipates.
  • What are natural product type plasticizers?
  • Vegetable oil derivatives are the most widely used natural product type plasticizers. Products consisting of triglyceride esters of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil) in which the double bonds in the fatty acid residues have typically been epoxidized have been commercial products for decades.
