Categories: Other Engineering Material; Additive/Filler for Polymer

Material Notes: Uniplex 50 is a widely used plasticizer, finding applications in polyvinyl acetate based adhesives, acrylic caulk compounds, and polyvinyl chloride formulations.

Chemical composition: Mixed Diethylene Glycol Dibenzoate and Dipropylene Glycol Dibenzoate

General Uniplex 50 is a widely used plasticizer, finding applications in polyvinyl acetate based adhesives, acrylic caulk compounds, and polyvinyl chloride formulations. Uniplex 50 is very compatible with polyvinyl acetate emulsions, giving broad com-pounding parameters for wet tack, set times, and open times. Acrylic caulk compounds containing Uniplex 50 are very stable and retain excellent adhesion characteristics. Uniplex 50 is an excellent plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride and shows exceptionally good properties in plastisol and dry blends. UNIPLEX 50 can be used to replace high solvating phthalates like DBP and BBP. Uniplex 50 is suggested for a wide range of applications where low odor, resistance to staining and extraction, and minimal discoloration are desired.

Applications: Uniplex 50 is used as a plasticizer for a wide range of articles based on polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cellulosics, rubbers including nitrile rubber, and acrylates. Typical applications are:

  • Water-based adhesives including PVAc
  • Acrylic latex caulks
  • Resilient flooring
  • Artificial leather
