| ‘DIOPLEX’® VLV - a new polymeric plasticiser ‘DIOPLEX’® VLV is a new polymeric plasticiser from Hyperlast Limited, the speciality plasticiser manufacturer. Characterised principally by its very low viscosity (50 – 100cPs at 25°) ‘DIOPLEX’ VLV is a versatile and highly efficient product that is very easy to process. It offers similar handleability to standard monomerics yet provides an improvement in the level of resistance to extraction by various media when compared to monomeric counterparts such as DOP, DINP and linear phthalates. The new product offers excellent Cold Flex properties that compare favourably with most phthalates and trimellitates. Indeed, the benefits of this newly-launched plasticiser do not stop there: with its benign environmental and legislative profile, low viscosity ‘DIOPLEX’ VLV becomes an essential ingredient in plastisol formulations as a non-phthalate. In application, ‘DIOPLEX’ VLV is likely to be considered wherever a non-phthalate plasticiser is sought or where there is a need to improve the performance of non-polymerics. Applications will include any PVC plastisol use (coated fabrics or steel), PVC spray application such as underbody coating and other non-PVC, non-phthalate applications. Flotation buoys, tarpaulins and tenting, pigment masterbatch, printing inks, gaskets and closures, industrial gloves (dip coating), protective clothing, technical coatings and low toxicity compounds all lend themselves to ‘DIOPLEX’ VLV application. ‘DIOPLEX’ VLV is available in commercial quantities throughout the world. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
