Flexible PVC's are fast fusing, migration resistant, low staining Benzyl Phthalates. Highly efficient, low temperature, low smoke generation, fire retardant Phosphate Esters are also important properties for flooring plasticizers.
Calendering - All products. Benzyl Phthalates are used to increase the gloss of finished films, reducing fish eyes and imperfections. Phosphate Esters are used to produce fire retardant, crystal clear, low temperature, flexible films.
Flooring - Santicizer®160 and Santicizer® 261. Benzyl Phthalates are used to increase filler loading and improve stain resistance in VCT. In sheet flooring, Benzyl Phthalates improve foam structure and strain resistance in the wear layer.
Plastisol - Benzyl Phthalates are used to produce plastisols with fast fusion characteristics, allowing for improved production speeds for dip molding and casting operations. Phosphate esters produce low viscosity, fire retardant plastisols.
Coating - Benzyl Phthalates are used as secondary plasticizers to improve adhesion to scrim and fabric coating operations.
