Plasticizer WVC 3800 is a clear, odorless liquid that mixes well with organic solvents but not with water. WVC 3800 contains less than 1.0 % monoester and has been stabilized to prevent the formation of peroxide. It mixes well with PVC and PVB and thanks to its low viscosity and low water content it provides exceptionally good processability. The low vapor pressure and good ability to mix with other plasticizers such as DOP and DOTP contribute to an optimal result. WVC 3800 is characterized by a high resistance to hydrolysis.

Applications: Plasticizer WVC 3800 is used in films for laminated safety glass. Plasticizer WVC 3800 is a valuable additive to PVB, where users appreciate key properties such as compatibility with polyvinyl butyral, high transparency, high boiling point, low water content and hydrophobicity. The product is also used as an additive in formulations for water-based adhesives, paints and coatings. Here it has a positive effect on gloss, open time and rheological properties. Particular note should be made of its exceptionally low VOC content. The plasticizer is also used in the many versatile plastisol applications, such as PVC coverings, tubing and textile coatings or in silkscreen printing.
