Velsicol introduces an innovative discovery lowering the cost of
latex adhesive, coating and caulk formulations. Benzoflex® 3200, a new benzoate plasticizer, offers many of the performance benefits of other benzoate
plasticizers and costs less per pound.
Benzoflex 3200 is compatible with common adhesive homopolymer and copolymer
emulsions in the range of normal use. Additionally, Benzoflex 3200 provides excellent
viscosity response, set times, open time and specific
adhesion in adhesive emulsions tested. Benzoflex 3200 is less volatile than most phthalate commonly used, such as DBP and DIBP, in the
latex adhesive industry.
Benzoflex 3200 is commercial available worldwide. For more information contact
