SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) plasticizers are additives, commonly naphthenic or paraffinic oils, used to reduce melt viscosity, improve flexibility, and enhance processing of the thermoplastic elastomer
Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene (SIS)Key Aspects of SIS and Plasticizer Use:
Role of Plasticizers: Plasticizers are often used to reduce the viscosity of the SIS copolymer, which allows for easier application in hot-melt formulations and increases the stickiness of pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Impact on Properties: Increased plasticizer content can enhance the damping capacity and flexibility of the material. They also play a critical role in drug release profiles in SIS-based adhesive patches.

Iodophor is a widely used antiseptic and disinfectant that releases free iodine, effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Common uses include preoperative skin preparation, wound care, surgical scrubs, and sanitizing equipment in dairy and brewing industries. It is prized for being fast-acting, low-foaming, and leaving minimal residue.
Bis(2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP) is a high-performance plasticizer used primarily to improve flexibility, durability, and heat resistance in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products.
Metallic pigments such as aluminum, bronze, copper and zinc powders are widely used to create a shiny and reflective finish along with added functional benefits like protection and durability.
In paints and coatings, metallic pigments are one of the most important components. They are used in automotive paints, industrial coatings and decorative wall finishes where they provide a sparkling metallic appearance, improve resistance to weather and in some cases help protect surfaces from corrosion...
Disproportionated Gum Rosin (DGR) is a chemically modified rosin with high stability, low oxidation tendency, and excellent compatibility. It is widely used as a tackifier and stabilizing resin.
Aliphatic tackifiers (often C5 resins) are thermoplastic resins used primarily to enhance adhesion, tack, and cohesion in hot-melt (HMPSA) and pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA). They are widely used in packaging, tape, label, hygiene products, rubber compounding, road marking, and coatings
Hydrocarbon polyterpene resins are tackifying resins derived from terpene feedstocks (like pine chemicals). They are widely used to improve adhesion, flexibility, and compatibility in many formulations.
