Products in Housewares: Plasticizer

Ketjenflex® 2 is a toluene sulfonamide based reactive plasticizer used in Melamine molding compounds and a brightener in metal plating formulas. Ketjenflex® 2 is a basic starting material in the preparation of melamine formaldehyde molding compounds. Reacted into the resin backbone KETJENFLEX® 2 imparts long term impact resistance and toughness. Ketjenflex® 2 can also be used in other thermoset resins like epoxy and polyurethane based polymers resins.

Kettlitz-Mediaplast NB-7 is a special diisononyl dicarboxylic acid ester which can replace existing phthalate plasticizers in compounds based on polar rubbers like NBR, HNBR, CR, ACM, VAMAC etc. Mediaplast NB-7 shows minor volatility at an extremely low setting point. Therefore this plasticizer is suitable to produce rubber articles with high heat resistance and excellent low temperature propertiesas well.

UPC Group DINP has good compatibility with PVC and high plasticizing efficiency. DINP has better performance than DOP in electrical insulation, durability, heat-resistance and low volatility. In addition, customers can produce higher volume products (like PVC film and sheet) with DINP formula.

Plastay DINP (Di Isononyl Phthalate) is usually used with materials such as PVC for plasticization, after heating to a soft or plasticized state, to obtain elasticity, brightness for plastic, create electrical resistance, prevent cracking and make the surface smooth. Do not allow the ingress of materials that will be removed from the mold.

Mediaplast NB-4 is a special adipine acid plasticizer at an exceptionally reasonable price for the use in polar polymers like NBR, H- and XNBR, CM / CSM, CR, ECO, etc. Mediaplast NB-4 is, due to its relatively low volatility and also because of its extremely low setting point, suitable for heat-resistant as well as cold flexible rubber articles (see technical data).

Mediaplast PX-2 is a semi-synthetic plasticizer based on long-chain hydrocarbons with paraffinic character. It is recommended to use in elastomers with low polarity, e. g. NR, IIR, BR, SBR and EPDM.

UPC Group DBP is a clear liquid with high stability and it could be dissolved in most organic solvents. DBP as a plasticizer has good compatibility with PVC and extremely high plasticizing efficiency. By just adding small amounts of DBP, plastic products can easily achieve the desired hardness. Moreover, DBP is a kind of plasticizing accelerator that can reduce the melting temperature of plastics in PVC processing.

Mediaplast PS-1 is a synthetic plasticizer based on polyalkylbenzene, which is mainly recommended for the use in elastomers with low to medium polarity, e. g. NR, IIR, BR, SBR, EP(D)M, but also CR, CM/CSM, EVA and PNR.

Mediaplast PM is a synthetic aromatic plasticizer based on polyalkylbenzene (bi- and trialkylated aro-matics), which is mainly recommended for the use in elastomers with low to medium polarity, i. e. NR, IIR, BR, SBR, EP(D)M for example, but also CR, CM/CSM, EVA and PNR. Especially in polychloro-prene the often used, expensive ester plasticizers can be replaced completely.

Mediaplast 650 A is a synthetic plasticizer based on polyalkylbenzene (bi- and trialkylated aromatics), which is especially recommended for the use in elastomers with low polarity like NR, IIR, BR, SBR, EP(D)M, etc. The compatibility with rubber compounds containing strong polar elastomers, like nitrile rubber for example, is low.

Plastay D.O.P (Di Octyl Phthalate) is Generally used with materials like PVC in order to plasticized, after being heated to a doughy or plasticized state, to obtain elasticity, brightness for plastic material, generate electrical resistance, to prevent cracking and make surface smooth. Prevent materials which will be removed from mold from adhering to it.

UPC Group DEHP (DOP) has good compatibility with PVC and high plasticizing efficiency. It is the most widely used general-purpose plasticizer and has the average performance of various plasticizers. The maximum dosage is 150 phr.
