| Uniplex 512 is a low melting, waxy, solid plasticizer. The product is used as plasticizer for coatings application, as a thermoplastic processing aid and as a cleaner for adhesives. Chemical composition: Neopentyl Glycol Dibenzoate 2,2-Dimethyl-propanediol-1,3 Dibenzoate General Uniplex 512 is a low melting waxy solid plasticizer. This solid dibenzoate has low volatility, a good ultraviolet light stability and is compatible with several polymers. Uniplex 512 is used as thermoplastic processing aid, as an effective plasticizer for coatings application, and as a cleaner for adhesives. Applications: Uniplex 512 is used predominately as thermoplastic processing aid. These uses include: - Incorporation in polycarbonate or talc-filled polypropylene to improve injection molding by cycle-time reduction.
- Incorporation in rigid vinyl compounds as an extrusion aid.
- Incorporation in thermoplastic polyesters (e.g. PBT, PCT, PET) to aid crystal growth during nucleation.
Uniplex 512 is an effective plasticizer for coatings application, particularly in acrylic-based coatings where excellent ultraviolet light stability is required. Uniplex 512 is useful as a cleaner for adhesives, especially to clean hot melt coating and laminating equipment.Information provided by Lanxess. |
