Plasticisers are an essential ingredient in the manufacture of plastics and rubbers. Without them, these materials would be hard and inflexible, making them unsuitable for many applications. Plasticisers work by reducing the intermolecular forces between the polymer chains, making the material softer and more flexible. There are many different types of plasticisers available on the market, each with its own unique properties. Phthalates are a well-known type of plasticiser, and are often used in the production of PVC. Other common plasticisers include adipates, azelates, sebacates, and trimellitates. When selecting a plasticiser for your application, it is important to consider its compatibility with the polymer, as well as its effect on the final properties of the product. Univar Solutions is proud to offer a range of plasticisers to suit your individual requirements.
