Vinyl Acetate Ethylene Copolymer (VAE) | Adhesives, coatings, textiles | Purity: 98% (▲+3% vs Industry Standard 95%) Appearance: Homogeneous white powder (ASTM D1003) Non-toxic: REACH SVHC compliant | High purity ensures consistent bonding strength Safe for food-contact applications | Premium pricing limits cost-sensitive applications Requires precise storage conditions |
Plasticizers (e.g., DOP) | PVC softening, flexible products | Viscosity: 1000 cSt (▲-20% vs Competitor 1250 cSt) Volatility: <0.5% loss at 25°C (ASTM D3713) | Cost-effective flexibility enhancement Easy to handle | Potential toxicity risks Long-term migration from PVC matrices |
Calcium Stabilizers | PVC extrusion, packaging | Thermal Stability: 200°C (▲+20°C vs Zinc Stabilizers) Heavy Metal Content: <10 ppm (ISO 20244) | Environmentally friendly (lead-free) Lower cost than organic stabilizers | Reduced efficiency at >220°C Requires precise dosing for optimal performance |
Non-Ionic Emulsifiers | Paints, cosmetics | HLB Value: 10-15 (▲+2 vs Ionic Emulsifiers) pH Stability: 4-10 (ISO 3104) | Broad pH compatibility Mild formulation for sensitive applications | Ineffective in high-ionic-strength environments Lower foam control compared to anionic types |
Crosslinking Agents (Peroxides) | Rubber curing, thermoset plastics | Half-Life: 10 min (▲×2 vs Industry Standard 5 min) Purity: 99% (ASTM D2891) | Precise crosslinking control for uniform curing Extended shelf life | Hazardous handling (flammable) Requires inert atmosphere storage |
Hindered Phenol Antioxidants | Plastics, rubbers | Oxidation Induction Time: 500 min (▲+150% vs Basic Antioxidants) Non-Migratory: <0.1% migration (ASTM D1652) | Long-term oxidation protection No staining or discoloration | Higher cost than primary antioxidants Less effective in UV-exposed environments |
