Plasticizer is a polymer material additive that can reduce the melting temperature of the resin, improve the fluidity of the resin in the molten state and the softness of the product.
Based on its applicability, plasticizer can be divided into general plasticizer and special plasticizer.
General plasticizer is a kind of plasticizer with economic, good performance and strong applicability. General plasticizer include DOP,DOTP,DINP,DPHP,etc
special plasticizer is a kind of plasticizer which aim for different product to provide special performance. Such as requires different heat resistance, low temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, environmental protection, low atomization, high transparency, etc. Special plasticizer icnlude DOA,TOTM,ESBO,DOS,DPHA.
Plasticizer plays a significant role in changing the properties, processing, and product performance of polymers.
-
Reduce the glass transition temperature of the polymer.
-
Change the structure of the polymer to make the plasticized material soft.
-
Increase the elongation of the polymer and reduce the tensile strength.
-
Increase the toughness of the polymer and improve the impact resistance.
-
Improve low temperature performance.
-
Reduce the viscosity of the polymer and improve the processability of the polymer and its ingredients mixture.
-
Change the rheological properties of the polymer.
-
Lower the melting temperature, lower the gel temperature, shorten the mixing time, lower the extrusion pressure.
-
The plasticizer in the product is used to improve the interaction with water.
-
It contributes to the dispersion of liquid and solid additives.
-
Increase or decrease the conductivity or insulation of the product.
-
Improve the sensitivity of products to combustion and increase flame retardancy.
-
Degradable plasticizers can accelerate the degradation rate of products.
-
Improve the adhesion and vibration attenuation between plastic films.
-
Improve the volatility of the product, reduce the fog of the product and the oil droplets on the surface of the product.
-
Reduce the frosting and crystallinity of the product.
-
Improve the refraction of the product to light and increase the gloss transparency of the product.
-
Improve the migration of low molecular weight substances in the product to the surface of the product.
-
Increase the gas permeability of the product.
-
Increase the compatibility of polymer and additive mixture.
