plastificatori
Plastificatori, also known as plasticizers, are additives that increase the plasticity or fluidity of a material. They are commonly used in the plastics industry to make polymers more flexible and easier to process. By reducing the intermolecular forces between polymer chains, plasticizers allow the chains to slide past each other more readily, thereby lowering the glass transition temperature of the material. This results in increased flexibility, extensibility, and processability.
The most common type of plasticizer is phthalates, such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and diisononyl phthalate
Non-phthalate plasticizers include citrates, adipates, trimellitates, and bio-based plasticizers derived from renewable resources like soybean oil.
Plasticizers can be added to polymers during processing, typically through mixing and heating. The amount of
