KETJENFLEX® 12 is a partially bio-based plasticizer with a very good toxicological profile. With a TDI (total daily intake) of 1.0 mg/kg body weight it is much safer then commonly used plasticizers such as dioctyl phthalates or diethyl hexyl adipates.
KETJENFLEX® 12 is generally used as safe phthalate replacement in many vinyl formulations like PVC plastics, vinyl flooring, solution vinyl resins, wood vinyl compounds and PVC based plastisols as for example used in coil coatings. Other main areas of use for KETJENFLEX® 12 are as a phlegmatising agent for nitrocellulose resins and as plasticizer in coatings and inks based on cellulose resins.
In addition, KETJENFLEX® 12 is used as plasticizer in specific medical adhesives and drug release coating formulations. Plasticizer applications of KETJENFLEX® 12:- PVC based polymers
- Various vinyl based formulations
- PVC plastisols
- Nitrocellulose resins
- Cellulose acetate and butyrate polymers
- Acrylic based pharmaceutical polymers
- Cyanoacrylate based (medical) adhesives
KETJENFLEX® 12 is the preferred lubricant for metal sheets. It has good compatibility with the primer coating applied afterwards and does not need to be rinsed off.
