K-FLEX®: Environmentally-friendly plasticizers that deliver value
K-FLEX® plasticizers optimize your manufacturing processes and the properties of your end-products. They are highly compatible with polar polymers in water-based adhesive systems and they improve the film formation of paints and coatings. In PVC production, the fast-gelling dibenzoates can speed up processes, helping formulators achieve greater efficiency.
The K-FLEX® line of low-volatile coalescing agents is highly compatible with the typical polymeric binders used in these applications, such as acrylates, vinyl and styrene acrylates, polyvinyl acetate and ethylene vinyl acetate. K-FLEX® coalescing agents help produce paints and coatings with a superior surface appearance and high durability.
