Application Information

PVC Plastisols
Special Features and Benefits
The additive reduces the viscosity in PVC plastisols and is used in particular for unfilled and low filled systems.
Recommended Levels
1-7.5% additive (as supplied) based on the PVC resin, in exceptional cases up to 10%.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive is added during the plastisol manufacturing process or shortly prior to processing.
