Question

an example of plasticizers used in paint is

Answer 1

Plasticizers for plastics are additives, most commonly phthalate esters in PVC applications. Almost 90% of plasticizers are used in PVC, giving this material improved flexibility and durability. ... For plastics such as PVC, the more plasticizer added, the lower their cold flex temperature will be.

Answer 2

An example of plasticizers used in paint is ATBC (citrates).

Plasticizers:

• Plasticizers are the materials that are added to a material to make it soft and flexible
• It is generally added to polymers like plastics, and rubber to handle raw material when fabrication occurs
• Plasticizers are volatile in liquid and solid and it is also used in PVC which gives the material flexibility and durability
• It is available due to the migration of the plastic because they are not combined with the polymer matrix
• The effect of plasticizers depend upon temperature and plasticizer concentration
