PARAPLEX® G-57

Common Name: POLYESTER ADIPATE
Product Code: 3752
Brand: Paraplex®

PARAPLEX G-57 is an intermediate molecular weight polyester. G-57 provides a balance of the best properties of high and low molecular weight plasticizers; that is permanence and handling characteristics of a low molecular weight plasticizer.

PARAPLEX G-57 also provides high volume resistivity and dielectric strength in standard electrical formulations.

In comparison to other polyesters of similar molecular weight, PARAPLEX G-57 offers:

– Faster fluxing

– Higher tensile strength and greater elongation

– Better resistance to polar and non-polar fluids

– Improved migration resistance

– Ease in handling
