Choosing the right plasticizer for rubber

Plasticizers and oils play a major role in defining the final characteristics of rubber articles. Hardness, viscosity, cost, mechanical properties, resistance to aggressive chemicals and heat can be optimized thanks to the choice of the right oil or plasticizer.

The choice also depends on the elastomer used; a mistake can result in significant effects on the characteristics of the vulcanized article. It is impossible to describe all the oils and plasticizers available, so contact us for more information!
