Functional Fluids - Polymer Performance Enhancers

Esters and additives for functional fluids to control viscosity, improve stability, lubricity and service life for synthetic lubricants, metalworking and hydraulic fluids.

Filter products

Since the mid 2000s, the CEREPLAS™ range of esters have been developed and are now exclusively non ortho-phthalate specialty esters that are commonly used in the plastics and rubber industries. Part of the range is also used within hydraulic and metal working fluids.

Functional Fluids

Valtris offers a range of synthetic esters that can enhance the performance of functional fluids (e.g. in hydraulics), enabling formulators to reach challenging specification requirements.

Functional Fluids

CEREPLAS™ Specialty Esters

CEREPLAS™ specialty esters are used predominately to modify PVC resin systems for a wide variety of consumer and industrial products. These synthetic esters are also components of functional fluids such as, lubricants, hydraulic, and metal working fluids.

CEREPLAS™

Since the mid 2000s, the CEREPLAS™ range of esters have been developed and are now exclusively non ortho-phthalate specialty esters that are commonly used in the plastics and rubber industries. Part of the range is also used within hydraulic and metal working fluids.

CEREPLAS™ Adipates are used to bring enhanced low-temperature flexibility, low process viscosities, improve surface feel and texture, and reduce surface resistivity. Food contact applications are a principal use (e.g. CEREPLAS™ DOA™ is used in food cling wraps), but are also used in floorings. The higher molecular weight adipates such as CEREPLAS™ DTDA are widely used in biodegradable hydraulic oils. Our range of adipates include DOA, DIDA and DTDA.

CEREPLAS™ Trimellitates are high-quality specialty plasticizers with low volatility, resistance to high temperature, high tensile strength, good electrical properties, and processing ability. While extensively used in high-temperature PVC cable insulation, their fogging performance makes them a natural choice for the automotive industry. They are also used in medical applications such as tubing. Our range of trimellitates include OTM, L8TM and L810TM.

CEREPLAS™ Sebacates are specialty plasticizers serving niche markets such as underground cable sheathing in arctic environments and in automotive sealants. Our range of sebacates include DOS and DIDS.

CEREPLAS™ 100XS is a terephthalate ester. An excellent general-purpose plasticizer with heat stability, CEREPLAS™ 100XS is an alternative to the most common ortho-phthalate esters such as DOP and DINP.
