PARAPLEX® G-40

Common Name: POLYESTER ADIPATE
Product Code: 3744
Brand: Paraplex®

PARAPLEX G-40 is a high molecular weight permanent plasticizer, which offers excellent durability. PARAPLEX G-40 has low volatility, excellent resistance to extraction by hydrocarbon solvents and freedom from migration. It is well suited for PVC compounds which are in contact with rubber or rubber-based materials.

Limiting factors in certain PVC applications include reduce compatibility at high plasticizer levels or in high humidity environments, extractability by aqueous media and low plasticizing efficiency.
