Hallstar has developed a new line of polymeric plasticizers for fluoroelastomer (FKM) compounds, a class of high-performance materials that are challenging to plasticize because of their fluorinated backbones. Plasthall® P-920 and its dry version, Suprmix® Plasthall® P-20, act as processing aids and reduce viscosity with minimal impact on tensile properties. They enhance extrusion efficiency by lowering Mooney viscosity, which reduces torque and energy consumption.

Hallstar is promoting renewable and readily available alternatives to trimellitate esters, chemical compounds that are used as plasticizers in rubber and PVC. Formulators who use these offsets can match the performance of synthetic trimellitate esters while strengthening their supply chains, reducing regulatory pressures, and advancing their environmental sustainability goals.

RDC S.r.l., a global supplier of pre-dispersed chemicals and additives, has revised its product brochure for the rubber and thermoplastic industries. The highlights include a new section about the company’s Premix® Specialties and new pages about its Veaflame flame suppressors and Films and Bags for Chemical Pre-Dosing. There are several other changes as well.
