What are plasticizers?
Plasticizers improve flexibility and elastic behaviour of vulcanisate. They have a favourable effect on the processability of compounds and often improve hot-air resistance or increase electrical conductivity. Plasticisers also facilitate the incorporation and dispersion of high loads of filler.
Uses of Plasticizers
Easy melt, improve flexibility, increase softness and flexibility, improve processability, alter softening point, increase tensile strength, elongation at break and impact.
