A&D Polymers’ Premium Plasticizes for Flexibility are specially developed additives that improve the flexibility, softness, and processing characteristics of plastics and rubber compounds. By reducing the glass transition temperature (Tg) of polymers, they significantly enhance the ease of molding, forming, and shaping various materials. Our high-performance plasticizes meet the stringent requirements of industries such as automotive, construction, footwear, medical devices, and packaging, where superior flexibility and durability are critical.

Engineered for versatility, our plasticizers are available in a wide range of chemical structures, including phthalates, non-phthalates, adipates, citrates, and specialty blends, ensuring compatibility with different polymer matrices like PVC, PU, EVA, and rubbers.
