CITRATE PLASTICIZERS

Citrate plasticizers are made of citrates which are esters of citric acid. They can be found in oily liquid form and they are practically colourless and odourless. They are used in paints, coatings and inks but also in food packaging products, cling wrap, toys and medical applications. It can also be used to increase gelation speed in PVC-plastisols. They have been used mainly as plasticizers with cellulosics, PVC, polyvinyl acetate, and other polymers used in medical plastics and food contact packaging. Some citrate esters find specialty use in blood bags and food wraps. Citrates are also used in toys produced by the plastisol process.Citric acid based plasticizers are one of the major contenders to replace phthalates(especially targeted to replace DOP).

Some properties of materials plasticized with citrates can match those plasticized with DOP but the cost of their production is substantially higher.

MALEATES PLASTICIZERS

Maleates plasticizers or Maleic acid esters are are generally suitable for vinyl acetates or Polyvinyl Chloride applications. They are generally reactive cross-linked monomers which are co-polymerized with other monomers. They are clear, colorless liquid that are miscible in various organic solvents. They are highly resistant to humidity and UV light, thus ensuring that the plasticizer does not leach out. It is used to provide elasticity and flexibility to the resins.

PHTHALATES PLASTICIZERS

Phthalates plasticizers comprise of phthalate esters. They are esters of phthalic acid which are m ainly used as plasticizers, i.e., substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity. Phthalates are a family of chemical compounds primarily used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or vinyl, flexible and pliant. They are used in hundreds of products in our homes, hospitals, cars and businesses. The phthalates widely selected to soften plastics are used because of their strong performance, durability and stability. Because these phthalates plasticizers are bound into the material in which they are added, they do not easily migrate out of the product or evaporate.

Safety Information:

Phthalates have been thoroughly studied and reviewed by a number of government scientific agencies and regulatory bodies worldwide. These agencies concluded that phthalates used in commercial products do not pose a risk to human health at typical exposure levels. Information collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during the last 10 years indicates that, despite the fact that phthalates are used in many products, exposure is extremely low – significantly lower than any levels of concern set by regulatory agencies.

Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP)

Benzyl Butyl Phthalate is an ester of ophthalmic acid, benzyl alcohol and n-butanol. It is a clear liquid which acts as an excellent plasticizer with strong solvent capability on a wide variety of resins. It is a high solvating, fast fusing plasticizer with high efficiency. It is a plasticizer for polyurethane based materials in the form of colorless, oily liquid.

Di Butyl Phthalate (DBP)

DiButyl Phthalate is a colorless or yellow oil, with low toxicity and wide liquid range. It is produced by the reaction of n-butanol with Phthalic anhydride. DBP is used in cosmetics as a perfume solvent and fixative; a suspension agent for solids in aerosols; a lubricant for aerosol valves; an anti-foamer; a skin emollient and plasticiser in nail polish and fingernail elongators (extensions).

Di Octyl Phthalate (DOP)

DiOctyl Phthalate is the most common member of the class of phthalates, which are used as plasticizers. This colorless viscous liquid is soluble in oil, but not in water. It cannot be extracted with water and can be mixed with all monomers for the softening of PVC paste mixtures. It increases the elasticity of the material and exhibits electrical resistance. Due to its suitable properties and the low cost, DOP is widely used as a plasticizer in manufacturing of articles made of PVC. It acts as an economical, general performance monomeric plasticizer. It provides a balance of properties and economical cost due to which it is the first choice as the plasticizer for general-purpose applications when requirements are not severe.

Di Cyclo Hexyl Phthalate (DCHP)

Di Cyclo Hexyl Phthalate (DCHP) is a solid at ambient temeperature and has a good compatibility with most unsaturated polyester resins. It has good adhesion improving properties when it is used in PVC Plastisols.

It is the lowest cost plasticizer for cellulose nitrate. DIBP has lower density and freezing point than DBP. It has similar properties as dibutyl phthalate and can be used as a substitute for it.

POLYMERIC PLASTICIZERS

We offer Adipic based Polymeric plasticizers are super-specialty plasticizers that are used in PVC applications. They provide flexibility, softness and lower modulus values. In order to maintain these characteristics after exposure of the PVC compound to severe use conditions or harsh environments. Polymerics are more permanent (stable) under extended, high heat conditions and less likely to volatilize out of the PVC compound than monomeric plasticizers. These are resistant to extraction (leeching) by solvents, oils and fluids, and they resist migration to other polymer compounds in contact with the PVC material. In short, polymeric plasticizers provide greater permanence than monomerics in PVC applications.

SEBACATES PLASTICIZERS

Sebacates plasticizers comprise of sebacates which are esters of sebacic acid. Sebacic acid is generally produced from castor oil, which is a bio based raw material. They easily adhere to other materials and can therefore be used in combination with steel, glass, metals, and other solid materials used for making inflexible plastic items. They show a high fire-resistance. Addition of certain liquid to the polymer will give a non-tacky product with a lower processing temperature and which is softer and more flexible than the polymer alone. They are flexible even at low temperatures. Their sorption properties are similar to adipate and phthalates.

Di Butyl Sebacate (DBS)

Dibutyl sebacate (DBS) is an organic chemical, a dibutyl ester of sebacic acid. These sebacates plasticizers are used in production of plastics, namely cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, and many synthetic rubbers (especially nitrile rubber and neoprene) and other plastics. It provides excellent compatibility with a range of plastic materials, superior properties at low temperatures, and good oil resistivit

Di Octyl Sebacate (DOS)

Di Octyl Sebacate (DOS) is an ester type plasticizer. It has been used for many years as a standard in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds requiring flexibility at low temperatures. It is the typical high quality cold resistance PVC plasticizers with high plasticizing efficiency and low colour distortion. The most important features of DOS are low volatility; high plasticizing efficiency; excellent resistance to extraction by water, soaps and detergents; and excellent flexibility at low temperatures. These basic qualities make DOS substantially better than phthalate and adipate esters. Due to its low molecular weight and low polarity, it is deficient in terms of migration resistance and extraction by hydrocarbon fluids. It should be used in minimal amounts that meet specific low-temperature performance requirements

STEARATE PLASTICIZERS

Stearate plasticizers which are consistent in quality are necessary for producing execellent products. Here are some details of what goes into stearate plasticizers we produce Stearate esters are oily liquids or waxy solids. These esters are prepared by reacting stearic acid with the appropriate alcohol. Moreover, they act primarily as lubricants on the skin’s surface, which gives it a soft and smooth appearance. They have the unique properties of low viscosity and an oily nature, which results in a nongreasy, hydrophobic film when applied to the skin or lips. In cosmetics and personal care products. Stearate esters are used most frequently in the formulation of eye makeup, skin makeup, lipstick and skin care products. We manufacture and export stearate plasticizers comprising of: butyl stearate and octyl stearate.
