Fundamentals of plasticizers | ExxonMobil Product Solutions

The difference between chlorinated paraffins and plasticizers(Part 3) Flame Retardancy: CPs: Their high chlorine content makes them effective flame retardants, reducing the flammability of PVC by releasing HCl during combustion, which disrupts the combustion process. Plasticizers: Most plasticizers (e.g., phthalates, adipates) do not contribute significantly to flame retardancy and may even increase flammability. However, epoxidized oils like ESO can act as heat stabilizers, improving thermal st

Does the plasticizer have fluorescence? Plasticizers used in PVC and other polymers generally do not spontaneously fluoresce, but certain types of plasticizers or their impurities may fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light. 1. Fluorescence properties of common plasticizers Common plasticizers (such as phthalates, adipates, citrates): Most traditional plasticizers (such as DOP, DINP, DOA, etc.) are nonfluorescent in themselves, and their chemical structures (such as benzene rings, fatty chains) g
