Why Fewer Solid Plasticizers Are Preferred For PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

Flexibility Plasticizers are added to PVC to increase its flexibility and durability. Liquid plasticizers typically offer better flexibility compared to more solid ones, allowing for greater versatility in applications where PVC needs to bend or stretch. Processing Ease Liquid plasticizers can enhance the processing characteristics of PVC. They facilitate the mixing and blending processes during […]

Information On Additives

SR.NO ADDITIVES INFORMATION 1 Acid scavengers Acid scavengers allow polymers to be more resistant in humid environments (hydrolysis), as well as towards acids and free radicals, therefore slowing down the process of disintegration in polymers. 2 Adhesion promoters Adhesion promoters are substance that increase adhesive strength between the polymers and fillers. 3 Antiblocking agents Antiblock […]

Micronized Oxidized Polyethylene Wax (MPOW) Uses In Nitrocellulose Lacquers

Micronized oxidized polyethylene wax (MPOW) can serve several purposes in nitrocellulose lacquers, enhancing various properties of the lacquer formulation. Here are some common uses of MPOW in nitrocellulose lacquers: Surface Protection MPOW can act as a surface protectant, providing a barrier against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion. This helps to improve the durability and longevity of […]

Adipates As Plasticizers In PVC

Adipates are a class of chemicals that are often used as plasticizers in PVC (polyvinyl chloride) formulations. Plasticizers are additives that are added to PVC to improve its flexibility, workability, and durability. Adipate plasticizers, such as diisodecyl adipate (DIDA) and dioctyl adipate (DOA), are commonly used due to their low volatility, good compatibility with PVC, […]
