Flexidone™ 500

Flexidone™ 500 by Ashland is a plasticizer. It reduces dry blend times significantly. Also, decreases gelling temperature in plastisol production without compromising viscosity. It facilitates fast gelling. It provides high flexibility at extremely low temperatures (up to -70°C). It dissolves PVC at low temperatures quickly and completely. Flexidone™ 500 exhibits very low volatility and low plasticizer loss at high temperatures. It enhances clarity and transparency and enables high filler load. It lends superior stability and durability to products that must hold up in hot conditions. It is used in vinyl flooring, carpet backing, roofing membrane, coated textiles, cable sheathing, refrigerators as well as window gaskets, hoses, pond liners, tarpaulins, sheets, bathmats, shower curtains, artificial leather & shoe soles.
