- Uses
Santicizer® 160 can be used as a primary plasticizer or is often blended with general purpose plasticizers to offer faster fusion and better plasticizing efficiency. Together, these properties generate savings in faster production throughput, lower oven temperatures, and lower total plasticizer loadings. Santicizer® 160 is a well recognized plasticizer in the flooring industry, and is utilized in processes like case hardening, cleaning/purging, and as a carrier for biocides, pigments, and other additives.

- Valtris Santicizer® in MS Polymer Applications.
Modified silane polymers were developed 30 years ago, and we have seen a large increase in both the European and North American markets due to its great advantage of being an elastic adhesive compared to polyurethane and PVC adhesives. Modified silanes are one component adhesives which react and cure under the action of moisture, and once cured acquire elastic properties and strength of an elastomeric material. Valtris Santicizer phthalate and nonphthalate plasticizers are well suited for MS Polymer formulations.
Benefits of using Valtris plasticizers:
- Enhance processability by modifying rheological properties.
- Reduce Shore A Hardness.
- Improve flexibility and maintenance of mechanical properties.
- Equal tack time and cure through
- Better Water Sensitivity

Polyurethane systems offer a wide variety of desirable performance features in coatings, adhesives, caulks, sealants and castable applications. Polyurethanes are used for their flexibility, excellent durability, tear resistance, and resilience. Valtris Santicizer phthalate and non-phthalate plasticizers are well suited for polyurethane applications, both 1K and 2K formulations.
Benefits of using Valtris plasticizers:
- Enhance processability by modifying rheological properties.
- Reduce elastic modulus and shore A hardness.
- Improve flexibility and maintain mechanical properties.
- Polar molecules, therefore, highly compatible with excellent permanence in urethane technology.
- Low Hydroxyl number and low moisture content.
- Low neat color.
- Excellent abrasion resistance

SPUR: Silylated Polyurethanes. SPURs have a silane curing mechanism and a polyurethane backbone, but they do not contain the unreacted isocynates like standard polyurethane technology. This makes them more esthetic to the environment and they have become increasingly appealing to adhesives, sealants and coatings. SPUR formulations offer fast room-temperature cure and good durability when compared to a standard polyurethane system. Generally, a plasticizer is used in a SPUR formulation because of the need for specific properties the plasticizer can provide that the formulator is not able to reach on its own. Valtris plasticizers are compatible with SPUR technology and can offer properties not seen with standard SPUR formulations.
Benefits of using Valtris plasticizers:
- Enhance processability by modifying rheological properties.
- Reduce elastic modulus and shore A hardness.
- Improve flexibility and maintain mechanical properties.
- Offer better low temperature flexibility.
- Low Hydroxyl number and low moisture content.
- Low neat color.
