    Features & Benefits

    Key Benefits
    • Secondary plasticizer to most primaries such as DOA, TOTM, DOP etc
    • Heat and light stability/resistance makes it compatible in most flexible vinyl compounds
    • Potential replacement for other materials of choice where a phthalate-free “green” system is required
    Product Highlights
    • Interflex ESO acts synergistically with mixed metal liquid stabilizers in vinyl formulations as opposed to using either one alone. In many cases, it compliments the processing of “rework” or off-specification materials while it offers a potential stability factor which directly relates to the user cost base.
    • In clear plasticized compounds, it has also been proven that ESO can enhance the outdoor stability to cracking/crazing and overall color fade when used in conjunction with UV stabilizers, absorbers and antioxidants.
    • The product is resistant to gelation upon exposure to high temperatures. In extremely thin blown film, it prevents material buildup in extrusion dies. 
    • ESO can be used primarily as a plasticizer in semi-rigid and rigid vinyl formulations when used as a process aid or for heat/light stability.
