Plasticizers - Highly Efficient & Versatile

Versatile High Efficiency Plasticizers

Santicizer® Plasticizers offer all the benefits of high solvating plasticizers including compatibility in multiple polymer systems including PVC, Polysulfide, Polyurethane and Silane Modified Polymers. Because of their high efficiency, less energy is required to fuse PVC formulations. These materials are well suited for plastisol applications, but can easily be used in almost any polymer system that requires additional flexibility and softness. Valtris also offers Santicizer® Platinum, non-phthalate options that have the same performance characteristics of premium phthalate products. These highly efficient plasticizers offer excellent compatibility in many polymer systems, high plasticizing efficiency and fast-fusing capability all in a non-phthalate product.

• Compatibility and permanence in many polymer systems allowing longer term product performance
• Fast fusing & compounding properties in PVC applications for reduction in energy usage and increase in line speed
• High plasticizing efficiency, for lower required plasticizer loadings
• Noise and vibration dampening
• Excellent paintability, particularly for wet on wet automotive applications
• Good chemical, water and biological resistance

• Plastisols processing applications such as spread/knife coating, dip/slush/rotomolding, and roll coating
• PVC calendaring/injection molding
• Mechanically- and chemically-foamed systems

Non-Phthalate biobased plasticizer

Valtris Specialty Chemicals is a company that focuses on creating low-carbon products. In doing so, we have developed a bio-based plasticizer, Santicizer® Platinum G-2000. Santicizer® Platinum G-2000 is an efficient bio-based primary plasticizer that offers excellent heat stability, enhanced process ability, and lower volatility than traditional general-purpose plasticizers. It can be used in techniques such as extrusion, calendaring, injection molding, rotational molding, and spread coating. Also, it can be used in rubbers, epoxy resins, paints and coatings, and many other polymers.

• Bio-based - 85% renewable carbon content
• Easy to formulate to substitute for common general-purpose plasticizers
• Non-phthalate
• Highly efficient, allowing lower plasticizer use
• Provides additional processing heat stability

• Plastisols processing applications such as spread/knife coating, dip/slush/rotomolding, and roll coating
• PVC calendaring/injection molding
• Chemically- and mechanically-foamed systems

Specialty Plasticizers Offering Fire Retardant and Smoke Suppressing Capabilities

When flame and smoke are primary concerns in a flexible polymer application, it’s often the additives that are contributing to the problem. These highly effective plasticizers are designed to maintain premium plasticizer performance while actively inhibiting flame and smoke in the occurrence of a fire.

Our phosphate ester-based materials are non-halogenated and perform with the same strong plasticizing capabilities of the other Santicizer® plasticizers, including high plasticizing efficiency, superior compatibility in multiple polymer systems, and faster fusion in PVC applications.

• FDA-approved grades
• Strong fire retardancy and smoke suppression
• Versatility and compatibility with many polymer systems
• Fast-fusing characteristics for easy process
• High-plasticizing efficiency
• Clear liquid

• Plastisols processing applications such as spread/knife coating, dip/slush/rotomolding, and roll coating
• PVC calendaring/injection molding/extrusion
• Mechanically- and chemically-foamed systems

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.

• Non-ortho phthalate chemistry
• High-plasticizing efficiency, broad range of processing flexibility
• Grades with FDA and EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) approval
• Low volatility for superior fogging performance
• High purity, low odor, low color
• Versatility across the product lines for range of low to high temperature performance
• Broad ranges of viscosities across the portfolio
• Excellent oxidative and thermal stability

• Plastisols processing applications such as spread/knife coating, dip/slush/rotomolding, and roll coating
• PVC calendaring
• Injection molding/extrusion
• Blown films
• Mechanically- and chemically-foamed systems
