The C.P. Hall Company Chicago. Illinois 60638 Flexible PVC applications can be categorized as requiring either general or higher performance characteristics. In many application areas.
Polymeric plasticizers provide excellent migration.
Each of these performance categories requires a different set of considerations in terms of compounding with plasticizers. For general performance applications, compounders require moderate performance in several areas without particular emphasis on any one. In these applications, good plasticizing efficiency is often desired and this is manifested in processing ease. For economic reasons, compound softening and modulus reduction are ideally obtained using the lowest plasticizer loadings possible. Performance properties are of secondary consideration and general performance applications may or may not require moderate volatility resistance.
