Features & Benefits

Benefits

The volatility of Mediaplast PX-2 is extremely low which provides significant advantages if applied to rubber compounds designed to resist high temperatures.

Features

Furthermore the plasticizer does not contain any heavy metals or polycyclic ingredients worth men-tioning. Therefore it is not considered to be hazardous.

Applications & Uses

Uses

Mediaplast PX-2 is non-staining and has excellent UV resistance. The chemical structure of the prod-uct is highly saturated which predestines the product to be used particularly for peroxide cured com-pounds.
