Santicizer® 261 Plasticizer is a fast fusing Phthalate Plasticizer with high permanence, somewhat comparable to low molecular weight polymeric plasticizers. It provides the easy processing conditions characteristic of monomeric plasticizers.

Benefits
fields of application for Santicizer® 261 include :

• calendered and extruded PVC for its low volatility and extraction resistance;
• expanded flooring and leathercloth for its fusion, low volatlity and good cell structure;
• acrylic varnishes, polyvinyl acetate adhesives, paints, polysulphide and castable polyurethanes sealants for its low volatility and good compatibility with a wide variety of recipes.

Santicizer® 261 possesses excellent resistance to extraction by soapy water, oil, petrol, kerosene and hexane, a remarkable property for a monomeric plasticizer. Santicizer® 261 provides rapid fusion under normal operating temperature, as well as low volatility (about half of DOP). Plastisols have low initial viscosity, good shelf life and present flow properties, which are not attainable with polymeric plasticizers. The pastes can be fused at lower temperatures and shorter processing times, representing a further advantage of Santicizer® 261 over polymeric plasticizers, which fuse slowly. Santicizer® 261 is used in nitrile rubber to reduce the hardness of the vulcanisate, and also in polyurethane sealants, helping the rapid build up of thixotropy and long-term retention of performances. Compatibility with polyurethane resins depends upon formulations, crosslinking density and polyurethane type.
