Frequently Asked Questions about Products
EFAME offers environmental benefits, low odor, and excellent cold resistance, but its migration resistance, extraction resistance, and long-term mechanical stability are generally lower than those of primary plasticizers such as DOTP, TOTM, and DINCH. Therefore, EFAME is more suitable for use as an auxiliary plasticizer or stabilizer, blended with primary plasticizers to balance processability, flexibility, and thermal stability.
Why Is EFAME Often Used as an Auxiliary Plasticizer?
EFAME is often used as an auxiliary plasticizer rather than a primary plasticizer because it offers environmental benefits, low odor, and good cold resistance. However, its migration resistance, extraction resistance, and long-term mechanical stability are generally lower than those of primary plasticizers such as DOTP, TOTM, and DINCH.
Key Performance Considerations
- Environmental benefits and low odor
- Good resistance to low temperatures
- Relatively lower migration resistance and extraction resistance
- Relatively lower long-term mechanical stability than DOTP, TOTM, and DINCH
For this reason, EFAME is more suitable for use as an auxiliary plasticizer or stabilizer. It is commonly blended with a suitable primary plasticizer to balance processability, flexibility, and thermal stability. Henan GO Biotech Co., Ltd. provides EFAME as part of its range of environmentally oriented plasticizer solutions for formulation applications.
