Collection: Plasticizers [Polymer Additives]

Plasticizers [Polymer Additives] — contains fatty acid esters and dicarboxylic acid esters such as phthalates, adipates, and citrates that function to increase the flexibility and pliability of polymer materials.

Plasticizers are used in formulations of PVC, films, and other polymer products to lower the glass transition temperature and increase the elasticity of materials, with citrate esters such as Trihexyl O-Butyrylcitrate often chosen as an alternative to phthalates. Material researchers and formulators also use adipate esters for applications that require flexibility at low temperatures.

Example products in this collection: TCI G0082 111-03-5 Monoolein, TCI B6040 82469-79-2 Trihexyl O-Butyrylcitrate, TCI A0166 627-93-0 Dimethyl Adipate, TCI B6634 17851-53-5 Butyl Isobutyl Phthalate, TCI A0164 27178-16-1 Diisodecyl Adipate, TCI C0010 464-49-3 (+)-Camphor, TCI A0163 103-23-1 Bis(2-ethylhexyl) Adipate, TCI C0011 76-22-2 (+/-)-Camphor.

Select based on the type of ester group (phthalate, adipate, or citrate), the length of the alkyl chain that affects volatility and migration, and compatibility with the target resin. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
