Plasticizers are low volatile chemical products serving the construction, PVC, and rubber industries. They increase the elasticity and malleability of materials. They facilitate the making of containers, cables, pipes, and rubber. They also reduce friction between surfaces and act as a lubricant. Different types of plasticizers serve different industries and are chosen according to the volume and type of material that needs plasticization. The main types of plasticizers LA include:
Primary plasticizers
It is a type of low-cost liquid external plasticizer. Primary plasticizers enhance elongation, softness, and flexibility. You can create formulations ranging from semi-rigid to flexible to serve the purpose. They serve areas that require large quantities of plasticizers for bulk production. They are highly compatible with PVC.
Phthalate plasticizers
Phthalate plasticizers are more durable than other plasticizers since they are immune to evaporation and dispersion. They withstand all weather and high temperatures, making them ideal for industries where heat is applied. They are cheaper and more efficient, which makes them ideal.
Non-phthalate
Non-phthalate plasticizers are less harmful than phthalate plasticizers. Their chemical-free nature makes them ideal in food industries, the manufacture of toys, and other items handled by human beings.
Secondary plasticizers
They are not as soluble as primary plasticizers but can be used together to increase their solubility. This increases their strength at lower temperatures and resistance to precipitation. They are inflammable and are low cost.
Plasticizers are applicable in a wide range of construction and manufacturing fields. Their versatility makes them a necessity. Contact A.G. Layne, Inc. if you are looking for plasticizers in LA.
