Hexamoll® DINCH

This non-phthalate plasticizer for high safety and quality standards is recommended whenever people come into close contact with PVC products that contain plasticizers. Key features include low viscosity, low density and excellent cold flexibility, combined with low volatility and good migration and extraction resistance. Its excellent toxicological profile makes it ideal for applications with close human contact. Hexamoll® DINCH is approved and certified according to international safety standards.

Palatinol® N (DINP)

This general purpose plasticizer for industrial applications is ideally suited for films and coatings. It is highly versatile and displays low viscosity. Other key features include its good low-temperature performance and low volatility.

Palatinol® 10-P (DPHP)

This plasticizer provides excellent weathering resistance and anti-aging properties for outdoor applications. The product’s high UV stability is complemented by its odor-free characteristics, making it ideal for automotive interior applications and standard cable formulations. Its low volatility results in minimal fogging, which is a desirable feature for higher-temperature applications. Palatinol® 10-P also complies with UL and German VDE standards for use in wires and cables.

Adipate plasticizers (Plastomoll® DOA & Plastomoll® DNA)

These are adipic acid-based monomeric plasticizers with good low temperature properties. Plastomoll® DOA meets international requirements for food packaging and is suitable for food packaging applications (cling film). Plastomoll® DNA can be used as a carrier solvent for PU systems, PVC colorants and coatings.

Polymeric plasticizers (Palamoll® grades)

Palamoll® are polymeric plasticizers with low migration into contact materials such as plastics, bitumen and adhesives. Their excellent extraction resistance to hydrocarbons, oils, fats and water makes Palamoll® the ideal solution for technical products such as decorative film and automotive applications. These long-lasting plasticizers extend the service life of products where outstanding UV stability is required.
