K-FLEX® 850P by LANXESS is a non-phthalate, plasticizer. It is a blend of dipropylene glycol- and diethylene glycol dibenzoate. It is similar in composition to K-FLEX® 850S (DEGDB rich) that is designed for both vinyl and waterborne latex adhesive applications with the economy as a focus. It offers good flexibility, viscosity response, and adhesion (even to challenging substrates) and extended open times. It provides reduced set times, improved wet tack, and enhanced weatherability. It achieves excellent performance and compatibility in latex caulks, and reactive & polysulfide sealants, including acrylic, VAE, PVAc, STPE, and STPU type chemistries. K-FLEX® 850P can also be used in food contact- and pressure-sensitive adhesives. As a high solvator for vinyl it can be formulated alone or in blends for plastisols as well as melt compounded vinyl. 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). K-FLEX® 500 by LANXESS is a non-phthalate, general-purpose, polar plasticizer. It is a blend of di-propylene glycol dibenzoate and diethylene glycol dibenzoate in a ratio of about one to one by weight. It can optimize the excellent performance of K-FLEX® DP with improved handling, due to its low freeze point. It shows excellent compatibility in waterborne adhesives, and reactive sealants, including acrylic, VAE, PVAc, STPE, and STPU type chemistries. It is suitable for food contact- and pressure-sensitive adhesives. It provides good flexibility, viscosity response and adhesion (even to challenging substrates), extended open times and reduced set times. It is designed for use in plastisols, as an excellent solvator for use in such applications as resilient flooring. K-FLEX® 500 is recommended for latex adhesives, caulks and sealants. It offers improved wet tack and enhanced weatherability. It is an excellent choice for use in hot melt adhesives. 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). K-FLEX® 850S by LANXESS (previously Emerald Kalama Chemical) is non-phthalate, low-VOC plasticizer. It is a blend of dipropylene glycol dibenzoate and diethylene glycol dibenzoate. It achieves excellent performance and compatibility in waterborne adhesives, latex caulks, and polysulfide & reactive sealants, including acrylic, VAE, PVAc, STPE, and STPU type chemistries. It is suitable for food contact- and pressure sensitive adhesives. K-FLEX® 850S provides excellent performance properties, such as wet tack, extended open times, chalk point/Tg suppression, reduced set times, and strong viscosity response of the base emulsion to the plasticizer (demonstrating compatibility and allowing flexibility). It is optimized for performance, compatibility and economy in waterborne latex applications. It is very effective for hot melt adhesives and putty. It is a viable option for food packaging adhesives. It is label-free grade. 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). 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). K-FLEX® 500P by LANXESS (previously Emerald Kalama Chemical) is a polar dibenzoate plasticizer. It provides improved scrub, high gloss, excellent blocking and reduced volatile organic compounds. K-FLEX® 500P can be used in adhesives and plastisols. It complies with FDA listing 21 CFR 175.105, 21 CFR 176.170 and 21 CFR 176.180. K-FLEX® 500S by LANXESS (previously Emerald Kalama Chemical) is a glycol dibenzoate ester. It acts as a plasticizer. It is used in adhesives for the packaging industry for carton sealing, forming, for bookbinding and labeling, in textiles, for fibers as well as non-woven fabrics; and in construction-to form decorative wall panels, window frames, and other products as well in the production of mastics and caulking compounds and other applications such as furniture, luggage, shoes, and in cigarette tipping. It possesses solution viscosity-enhancing properties. K-FLEX® 500S offers benefits such as reduced set times, increased open times, increased film flexibility, reduced heat sealing temperatures, and improved dried film’s resistance to oil, grease and water. K-FLEX® PG by LANXESS (previously Emerald Kalama Chemical) is a non-phthalate, low-VOC, propylene glycol dibenzoate plasticizer. It can achieve excellent performance and compatibility in waterborne adhesives, latex caulks, and reactive sealants, including acrylic, VAE, PVAc, STPE, and STPU types chemistries. It is also used in food contact-, and pressure-sensitive adhesives. Benefits include good flexibility, viscosity response, and adhesion (even to challenging substrates), extended open times, reduced set times, improved wet tack, and enhanced weatherability. It imparts outstanding stain resistance in vinyl compositions and durability properties. It is a very high solvator for vinyl so it is particularly useful for blends of plasticizers. Like K-FLEX® DP, it has an extremely low freeze point, which results in easier handling. However, K-FLEX® PG provides an improved economy. It is highly polar this indicates a large potential for use in most polar polymers. It can be used at higher loading levels in waterborne adhesives without degrading performance. It offers excellent chemistry and regulatory profile and has no GHS label requirements in the U.S. and Europe. 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).
