| Adimoll® DB is a plasticizer for melt processable cellulose esters (CAB, CP), nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers (VCVAC), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Chemical composition: Di-n-butyl adipate (DBA) CAS reg. no.: 105-99-7 General Adimoll® DB is characterized by - good compatibility with cellulose derivates. It is used as low-temperature-resistant plasticizer for melt processable cellulose acetate butyrates and cellulose propionates.
- very low viscosity, enabling the manufacture of highly filled pigment batches.
- good compatibility with polyurethane systems
- good gelling capacity for PVC but only a limited compatibility. Adimoll® DB can therefore only be added in small amounts to improve low-temperature resistance and reduce the viscosity of the plastisol.
- high volatility and strong tendency to migrate; this property is very useful, for example, for plasticized PVC from which a constant migration of certain active ingredients over a prolonged period is desirable, e.g. in flea collars for dogs and cats.
- a good compatibility with nitrocellulose.
Applications: Adimoll® DB is used as a plasticizer for a wide range of articles based on cellulose acetate butyrates and cellulose propionates, nitrocellulose and PVC. Typical fields of applications are calendering, extrusion, injection molding, pigment batches and carrier for active ingredients.Information provided by Lanxess. |
