Mesamoll® is a general purpose plasticiser with good gelling behaviour and saponification resistance. It is compatible with many types of polymers including PVC and polyurethanes.

General properties

Outstanding gelling capacity with a large number of polymers including PVC and polyurethanes, resulting in lower processing temperatures and shorter processing times

High saponification resistance, especially compared to DEHP, due to Mesamoll's chemical structure; this is especially beneficial for articles which come into contact with water and alkalis.

Good compatibility with a large number of polymers such as polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), natural rubber (NR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), blends of styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber (SBR/BR), isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR)

Outstanding resistance to weathering and light.

Good dielectric properties which give plasticised PVC outstanding weldability at high frequencies leading to shorter cycle times than with other plasticisers.

Applications

Mesamoll is used as a plasticiser for a wide range of articles based on polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), natural rubber (NR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), blends of styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber (SBR/BR), isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR).
