Properties

• Just as all plasticizers from the extended EKFLEX line, this plasticizer requires no addition of epoxidized soybean oil as a heat stabilizer in its formulation because it displays superior stability compared to any other plasticizer as it is, thereby bringing about a significant simplification in the formulation process.
• The EKFLEX 2000 non-phthalate plasticizer features excellent flexibility in low-temperature applications, low volatility and great mechanical strength. It is recommended for the most varied of PVC resin-based applications, especially the production of food-contact films, aprons, boots, toys and shoes.
