Plasticisers

Matrìca has optimised the synthesis of two esters for use as plasticisers and extender oils.

PF801E is specifically designed for the rubber industry, in particular the tyre industry, as a total or partial replacement for fossil-based plasticisers.

Its low glass transition temperature allows it to improve rolling resistance and grip performance on wet asphalt, and to be used in the production of winter tyres.

It has a bio-based carbon content of 82% in accordance with ASTM D6866-22 and a biodegradability rate in accordance with OECD TG 301B of 56%.

PD204P has been formulated for the rubber and PVC industry. It has a bio-based carbon content of 68% in accordance with ASTM D6866-22 and excellent plasticiser properties and thermal stability.
