ester. It has a Fog Value in PVC compound of 98. Another new polymeric ester is Paraplex A-7020, developed for improved compatibility and lower PVC fusion temperature (102°C). Hallstar is also addressing issues relating to


viscosity. “Viscosity reducers/stabilisers have been around for many years and are typically based on various chemistries that do not contribute to any other physical properties of the PVC,” it says. A new low viscosity polymeric ester, Paraplex A-7005, can reduce viscosity and control plastisol viscosity over time.


Fast response PolyOne highlights its ability to quickly develop new formulations for particular customer needs. It cites SynPlast L9TM, which it developed last year as an alternative to 810TM, a specialty trimellitate plasticiser offered by numerous plasticiser manufacturers (including PolyOne) that was for a period in short supply. The company says a leading wire and cable formula-


tor was facing signifi cant business risk due to a global supply disruption of the linear 810 alcohol used to produce 810TM - the formulator was struggling to


Hallstar’s Paraplex A-7005 acts as a standard ester plasticiser and provides viscosity reduction and stabilisation for PVC plastisols. The company says it allows PVC plastisol compounders to remove viscosity depressants/ stabilizers without sacrifi cing performance


achieve the necessary fl exibility at both elevated and low temperatures. PolyOne worked with the customer to identify the in-depth requirements of the application and quickly delivered evaluation samples and preliminary performance data for a new L9TM (trinonyltrimellitate) plasticiser, made with linear 9 alcohol. This proved
