Plasticizer
Plasticizers are colorless and odorless esters, mainly phthalates, that increase the elasticity of a material (e.g., polyvinylchloride (PVC)). Plasticizers soften the PVC to make it flexible and bendable. This opens up a huge range of possibilities for new applications.
| PLASTICIZERS | PLASTICIZERS | |
| DINP | DOP | |
| Di-isononyl Phthalate (DINP) | Di (2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) or Dioctyl phthalate (DOP) | |
| Key Performances | Key Performances | |
| - A general plasticizer, next to DOP better in terms of better performance | - A work-horse plasticizer for general purpose | |
| Application | Application | |
| - PVC sheet, film, leather | - PVC sheet, film, leather, wire & cable insulation, and paint | |
| - Very suitable for coating application due to its less specific gravity compared to DOP | ||
| - Wire & cable insulation | ||
