Benzoate plasticizers provide excellent foam quality, stain resistance, and UV light stability. They are used as primary plasticizers in resilient flooring applications but are limited in use because of viscosity. New benzoate‐based blends have been developed that result in reduced‐viscosity plastisols and lower VOC emissions than for existing benzoate products. A variety of European and North American formulations have been used to evaluate the processing and performance properties of these benzoate‐based blends and are highlighted in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
