Plasticizers story - flexible hose

Fundamentals of plasticizers

Plasticizers bring flexibility to PVC applications. They also attract misconceptions across the value chain. There are indeed similarities, but the truth is that plasticizers can also be fundamentally different!

Looking for a general purpose plasticizer?

Jayflex™ plasticizers show superior performance in the key requirements for a general purpose plasticizer. Jayflex plasticizers exhibit low volatile losses and high gelation, are cost competitive, are available globally and have a longstanding record of safety in use and wide toxicological review.

What about "non-phthalates"?

Toy ducks are fun: they float on water and squeak. But beware of ducks containing plasticizers with poor PVC compatibility: they don’t squeak, they leak! Which plasticizers produce squeakers and which produce leakers?
