Velsiflex

Velsiflex plasticizers are an environmentally friendly option for formulators looking for an alternative to commodity and specialty phthalate esters. Velsiflex is a non-phthalate plasticizer and uses benzoic acid as a key raw material. It is therefore a more environmentally-friendly product versus traditional commodity phthalates that have been linked to human health issues. While Velsiflex is not a green plasticizer, it is derived from benzoic acid, which in its salt form, is used as a food preservative in jams, soft drinks, pickled foods and spreads. Velsicol continually looks for opportunities to expand its product line and part of its product line may extend into bio-based plasticizers.
