CEREPLAS™
CEREPLAS™
Since the mid 2000s, the CEREPLAS™ range of esters have been developed and are now exclusively non ortho-phthalate specialty esters that are commonly used in the plastics and rubber industries. Part of the range is also used within hydraulic and metal working fluids.
CEREPLAS™ Adipates are used to bring enhanced low-temperature flexibility, low process viscosities, improve surface feel and texture, and reduce surface resistivity. Food contact applications are a principal use (e.g. CEREPLAS™ DOA™ is used in food cling wraps), but are also used in floorings. The higher molecular weight adipates such as CEREPLAS™ DTDA are widely used in biodegradable hydraulic oils.
Our range of adipates include DOA, DIDA and DTDA.
CEREPLAS™ Trimellitates are high-quality specialty plasticizers with low volatility, resistance to high temperature, high tensile strength, good electrical properties, and processing ability. While extensively used in high-temperature PVC cable insulation, their fogging performance makes them a natural choice for the automotive industry. They are also used in medical applications such as tubing.
Our range of trimellitates include OTM, L8TM and L810TM.
CEREPLAS™ Sebacates are specialty plasticizers serving niche markets such as underground cable sheathing in arctic environments and in automotive sealants.
Our range of sebacates include DOS and DIDS.
CEREPLAS™ 100XS is a terephthalate ester. An excellent general-purpose plasticizer with heat stability, CEREPLAS™ 100XS is an alternative to the most common ortho-phthalate esters such as DOP and DINP.
