Flexible PVC applications can be categorized as requiring either general or higher performance characteristics. In many application areas, specification requirements are becoming increasingly more severe requiring the use of polymeric polyester plasticizers in compounding. Polymeric plasticizers provide excellent migration, volatility, fluid chemical extraction, and/or weathering resistance in higher performance applications compared with that obtained from monomeric plasticizers alone.
