Products in Performance Flooring: Plasticizer

Hexamoll® DINCH functions as a non-phthalate plasticizer ideal for PVC and other polar polymers, especially in applications involving close human contact. Its clear, colorless, and almost odorless liquid composition makes it practically anhydrous. This plasticizer exhibits compatibility with common organic solvents, as well as other monomeric plasticizers used in PVC, while being nearly insoluble in water.

Santicizer® Platinum P-1400 is a proprietary, non- phthalate plasticizer designed for use in multiple polymer systems and applications. This material can be used in polymers systems including PVC, latex, polyurethane, and polysulfide to name a few. Santicizer® Platinum P-1400 can be used in many applications including foams, sealants, calendering, plastisols, extrusion and films.

Santicizer® 375 is a viscosity modifier for use in PVC plastisols or organosols. This product is fugitive during any open heating processing, so it will be predominately absent in the finished good. The material can help compensate for viscosity rise that is a common shelf life problem for plastisols using fast fusing plasticizers. Additionally, Santicizer® 375 can allow for case hardening in applications that require surface rigidity.

Santicizer® 2148 is a non-halogen, low-smoke, alkyl aryl fire retardant plasticizer used in multiple polymer systems. This plasticizer is recommended for applications where there is a need to reduce the risk of fire and smoke. This versatile additive is specifically designed to offer improved smoke suppression.

Santicizer® 141 is a fast-fusing, non-halogen, fire retardant plasticizer used in multiple polymer systems. This plasticizer is recommended for applications where there is a need to reduce the risk of fire. This versatile additive has FDA clearances making it an option for applications that involve indirect food contact. In PVC, Santicizer® 141 acts as a high solvating plasticizer, offering performance, faster fusion and high plasticizing efficiency. Santicizer® 141 is also used as a lubricant additive, hydraulic fluid, and rubber processing aid.

Santicizer® Platinum P-1700 is a proprietary, non- phthalate plasticizer designed for use in multiple polymer systems such as PVC, latex, polyurethane, and polysulfide to name a few. Santicizer® Platinum P-1700 is a high solvating, fast fusing plasticizer. Santicizer ® Platinum P-1700 shows characteristics of excellent permanence, resistance to exudation and extraction and has very low volatility compared to others in the market.

Santicizer® 160 is a fast fusing, benzyl phthalate plasticizer designed for use in multiple polymer systems and applications. This plasticizer has compatibility in many polymer types, particularly in PVC. 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 utilized in many industrial PVC applications, processes like cleaning/purging, and as a carrier for biocides, pigments, and other additives.

Santicizer® 148 is a fast-fusing, non-halogen, fire retardant plasticizer used in multiple polymer systems. This plasticizer is recommended for applications where there is a need to reduce the risk of fire. Santicizer® 148 helps to suppress smoke during combustion of materials it is used in. In PVC, Santicizer® 148 acts as a high solvating plasticizer, offering permanence, faster fusion and high plasticizing efficiency.

Santicizer® Platinum P-330 is a non-phthalate, primary plasticizer with high performing product characteristics meant to outperform existing general purpose plasticizing alternatives. This plasticizer has some high solvating character to boost compatibility and plasticizing efficiency in multiple polymer systems. This product is highly recommended for PVC application where fast fusing would be a benefit.

Santicizer® Platinum P-1800 is a proprietary, non- phthalate plasticizer designed for use in polymer systems such as PVC, latex, polyurethane, and polysulfide. Santicizer® Platinum P-1800 is a high solvating, fast fusing plasticizer.

Santicizer® 154 is a liquid, non-halogen, triaryl phosphate ester fire retardant plasticizer used in multiple polymer systems. This plasticizer is similar to tricresyl phosphate in performance properties, but without the neuro-toxicity associated with ortho-cresol materials. Within the Santicizer® family of plasticizers, Santicizer® 154 offers the best fire retardant properties. Santicizer® 154 is a great option in many applications where fire resistance is paramount, but plasticization is not a key property or where plasticization may need to be compensated for.

Santicizer® 278 is a fast fusing, benzyl phthalate plasticizer designed for use in multiple polymer systems and applications. This plasticizer is a high molecular weight alkyl benzyl phthalate that has compatibility in many polymer types, particularly in PVC. Santicizer® 278 is extremely permanent. It resists exudation and extraction and has very low volatility. Additionally, Santicizer® 278 has shown sound dampening benefits, and has benefits in wet applications of paint.

Di-isononylphthalate (DINP) is a phthalate used as a plasticizer with the formula c26H4204. It is usually used in a huge diversity of plastic items.

Santicizer® Platinum G-2000 is an efficient bio-based primary plasticizer that offers excellent heat stability, enhanced processability, and lower volatility than traditional General-Purpose Plasticizers. It can be used in techniques such as extrusion, calendaring, injection molding, rotational molding, and spread coating. It can be used in rubbers, epoxy resins, paints and coatings, as well as many other polymers. Santicizer® Platinum G-2000 has earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label.
