  • What is a primary plasticizer?
  • A primary plasticizer enhances elongation, softness and flexibility of polymer. They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear.
  • Are plasticizers compatible with polymers?
  • They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear. A secondary plasticizer is one that typically cannot be used as the sole plasticizer in a plasticized polymer.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • What are the different types of plasticizers used for polymer modification?
  • Several chemical families of plasticizers are used for polymer modification. Among them, the most common are: Phthalate Esters – Produced by esterification of phthalic anhydride or phthalic acid. Obtained by the oxidation of orthoxylene or naphthalene. Most commonly used phthalate plasticizers include: DEHP: Low molecular weight ortho-phthalate.
  • 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.
