UNIPLEX™ 512

Common Name: Neopentyl Glycol Dibenzoate, 2,2-Dimethyl-propanediol-1,3 Dibenzoate
Product Code: 5716
Brand: Uniplex™

Uniplex™ 512 is a low melting, waxy, solid plasticizer. The product is used as plasticizer for coatings application and as a thermoplastic processing aid.

General Properties

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. The product 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
  • rigid vinyl compounds as an extrusion aid
  • thermoplastic polyesters (e.g., PBT, PCT, PET) to aid crystal growth during nucleation

The product is an effective plasticizer for coatings application, particularly in acrylic-based coatings where excellent ultraviolet light stability is required. Additionally, Uniplex™ 512 is useful as a cleaner for adhesives, especially to clean hot melt coating and laminating equipment.
