Plasthall® (Adhesive ingredients)
Supplied by Hallstar
Epoxidized soybean oil. Acts as bio based plasticizer. Offers excellent stabilizing effectiveness to PVC and polychloroprene compounds. Has good compatibility upon aging, second only to PARAPLEX® G-62.
Dioctyl sebacate substitute. Acts as the plasticizer. It is a diester based on an alcohol-dibasic acid combination. Compatible with polychloroprene. Offers the similar performance to polymers that standard dioctyl sebacate would impart.
Polyester adipate. Acts as a highly efficient and very easy processing, as well as low viscosity polymeric plasticizer. Compatible with acrylic resins, nitrile, nitrocellulose, polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride and vinyl chloride acetate. Has similar handleability profile to standard monomeric yet provides an improvement in the level of resistance to extraction by various media when compared to monomerics such as DOP, DINP and linear phthalates. Also offers excellent cold flex properties and compares favorably with most phthalates as well as trimellitates. Used in gaskets and automotive sealants applications.
Epoxidized octyl tallate. Acts as a highly efficient epoxy ester plasticizer. Provides effective light and heat stability to PVC compounds. Compatible with chlorinated rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, ethyl cellulose and polychloroprene. Offers performance typical of low-temperature plasticizers i.e. excellent low-temperature flexibility, high plasticizing efficiency, low viscosity, easy processing, good compatibility, and low volatility. Used in window sealant applications.
Dioctyl adipate. Acts as a highly efficient monomeric ester plasticizer. The compounds plasticized with it shows very good heat and light stability. Compatible with cellulose acetate butyrate, chlorinated rubber, ethyl cellulose, polychloroprene, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl chloride, nitrile and nitrocellulose. Plasthall® DOA is chemically the same as Monoplex® DOA but with looser specifications on color and acid value. Imparts excellent low-temperature flexibility to compounds. In plastisols, it offers low initial viscosity and excellent viscosity stability.
n-Butyl tallate. Acts as a monoester plasticizer. Compatible with chlorosulfonated polyethylene and natural rubber. In polychloroprene it retards the cure. It yields good low temperature flexibility. Used in gaskets applications.
Dioctyl azelate. Acts as a plasticizer. It is a diester based on an alcohol-dibasic acid combination. Compatible with chlorinated rubber, ethyl cellulose, nitrile and nitrocellulose. It is utilized when the best low temperature performance is required in a PVC formulation. Offers excellent efficiency characteristics. Used in gaskets applications.
Dioctyl terephthalate. Acts as a plasticizer. It is a highly permanent monomeric phthalate. Compatible with EPDM, epichlorohydrin, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl chloride, nitrile and nitrocellulose. Due to the higher molecular weight of Plasthall® DOTP, efficiency and low-temperature properties are compromised. It finds utility where particular permanence requirements must be met, for example, in distilled water and humid environments. Used in the gaskets applications.
Dioctyl sebacate. Acts as the plasticizer. Compatible with acrylic rubber, chlorinated rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, EPDM, ethyl cellulose, fluoroelastomers, hydrogenated nitrile, nitrocellulose, polychloroprene and polyvinyl chloride. Imparts both excellent low temperature flexibility and reasonably good volatility resistance. Offers good extraction resistance in distilled and soapy water solutions. It finds utility in applications requiring excellent low temperature properties but greater extraction resistance than Plasthall® DOS can offer. Used in gaskets applications.
Trioctyl trimellitate. Acts as the most efficient plasticizer. Provides very low compound weight losses, exceptional retention of original elongation after air oven aging and excellent extraction resistance to a variety of polar as well as non-polar fluid. Compatible with chlorinated rubber, epichlorohydrin, hydrogenated nitrile, hydrogenated rubber, polychloroprene and polyvinyl chloride. Imparts an excellent volatility resistance to PVC compounds, due to its relatively higher molecular weight.
