Technical properties

Hexamoll^® DINCH offers a well-balanced set of technical properties, enabling the successful use in PVC production processes such as extrusion, calendaring, molding as well as spread coating.

The excellent product performance makes Hexamoll^® DINCH the ideal solution for many articles made from soft PVC, e. g. for medical devices, toys and food packaging. Additionally, Hexamoll^® DINCH has proven its suitability in textile applications like fabric coating or artificial leather and non-PVC applications as adhesives & sealants or printing inks.

Low viscosity

This property makes Hexamoll^® DINCH suitable for spreadcoating of plastisols (e.g. textile coatings, wallcovering, heterogeneous flooring) as well as rotomolding, i.e. manufacturing of hollow parts.

Low density

Thanks to this feature, less plasticizer is needed to achieve the same volume of end-product.

Excellent cold flexibility

This characteristic makes Hexamoll^® DINCH especially suitable for outdoor and food contact applications as cold temperatures may play an important role

Low volatility

Because of this property, the plasticizer content in the end-product remains stable, which in turn increases its lifespan.

Good compatibility with PVC

This feature helps Hexamoll® DINCH to remain in the PVC and unfold its plasticizing effect.

Excellent compatibility under mechanical pressure

Even if the end-product is exposed to mechanical pressure, the plasticizer Hexamoll^® DINCH remains in the product.

UV resistance

Hexamoll^® DINCH is very stable under UV radiation, which makes it suitable for outdoor applications. Thanks to this feature, the end-product keeps its mechanical properties such as flexibility and color.

Low migration & high extraction resistance

Hexamoll^® DINCH shows an extremely low extraction rate in contact with aqueous liquids and also a very low migration rate in contact with rigid PVC and engineering plastics.

Toxicological profile

Hexamoll^® DINCH is a substitute for phthalate plasticizers. To support its safe use in a wide range of applications with close human contact, BASF has conducted numerous tests to demonstrate that Hexamoll^® DINCH does not show any of these adverse effects:
