K-FLEX® DP

K-FLEX® DP by LANXESS (previously Emerald Kalama Chemical) is a non-phthalate, plasticizer. It is dipropylene glycol dibenzoate. It is the most versatile polar, high solvating grade. It offers good flexibility, viscosity response, and adhesion (even to challenging substrates), extended open times, reduced set times, improved wet tack, and enhanced weather-ability. It achieves excellent performance and compatibility in waterborne adhesives, latex caulks, and reactive sealants, including acrylic, VAE, PVAc, STPE, and STPU type chemistries. It can be used in food contact- and pressure-sensitive adhesives and plastisols. In adhesives applications, such as putty and water-based latex adhesives, K-FLEX® DP is an effective, low-VOC choice. It also offers easier handling due to its extremely low freeze point. It is listed in FDA 21 CFR 175.105- adhesives (part 175- indirect food additives and Subpart B-Substance for use only as components of adhesives).
