The Unique Properties of a Novel Fast Fusing Cyclohexanoate

Plasticizer

Discussion

• What are Fast Fusing Plasticizers?

• What are Cyclohexanoates Fast Fusing Plasticizers?

• How are Cyclohexanoates unique in the markets of:

– Automotive Synthetic leather

– Automotive Foam applications

– Wear Layer Flooring

– Wire and Cable

• Conclusions

Four Types of Plasticizers

1. General Purpose

• Phthalate vs Non-phthalate

2. High Solvating

• Phthalate vs Non-phthalate

3. Specialty – for specific performance attributes

• Low Temperature Flexibility

• Outdoor Weathering

• FDA approvals

• Flame Retardancy

4. Secondary

• Primarily used to improve processing

or lowering cost

What is a high solvating plasticizer?

• Generally faster fusing

• Highly efficient

• Used for ease of processing

• Help to compatibilize resin systems

High Solvator Phthalates• Diisobutyl Phthalate• Butyl Benzyl Phthalate• C7-9 Alkyl Benzyl Phthalate

High Solvator Non-Phthalates • Benzyl Cyclohexanoates• Benzoates • Alkyl Sulfonic Esters

What is a Benzyl Cyclohexanoate?

Santicizer Platinum P-1700MW – 460.9

Structure: Cyclohexanoate, Benzyl Ring, Alcohol

Santicizer Platinum P-1400MW – 318.4

Why use Santicizer® Platinum P-1400 or Santicizer® Platinum P-1700?

Both products are fast fusers.

Santicizer Platinum P-1400 - ease of manufacturing.

• Viscosity stability.

Santicizer Platinum P-1700 – performance

• Retention of properties

• Longer term permanence attributes

– Better Compatibility

– Reduced Exudation

– Better Extraction Resistance

– Lower Volatility

6

Not only is a fast fuser to aid in processing, but Santicizer

Platinum P-1700 has many performance attributes,

specifically when looking at permanence.

7

Why is Santicizer Platinum P-1700 Unique in the Market today?

To show these unique attributes we looked at 4 different applications:➢ Automotive Synthetic Leather➢ Automotive Foam➢ Wear Layer flooring➢ Wire and Cable

Test scenarios include:A general purpose plasticizer relevant to the application
