Properties

Just as all plasticizers from the extended EKFLEX line, this plasticizer requires no addition of epoxidized soybean oil as a heat stabilizer in its formulation because it displays superior stability compared to any other plasticizer as it is, thereby bringing about a significant simplification in the formulation process.. Performance test results show that this plasticizer is more efficient than other phthalate plasticizers more commonly used in PVC formulations, suggesting it takes smaller quantities of it to deliver the same properties.
