Plasticizers for the plastics processing industry

LANXESS plasticizers for toy and food contact applications approved by the FDA are beneficial to the plastics processing industry.

Chemicals group LANXESS has received the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its plasticizer Mesamoll* II. This approval covers its use in products that come into contact with aqueous based foodstuffs. The universal plasticizer alkylsulfonic phenyl ester is suitable for polymers such as polyurethane, NBR rubber and PVC. "The FDA approval is an important milestone for us. We can now offer plasticizing solutions for specialty applications such as toys," says a delighted Dr. Michael Gauss, head of the Functional Chemicals business unit.

Mesamoll II is a particularly beneficial product for the plastics processing industry as it has faster gelling characteristics than standard plasticizers - at lower operating temperatures. This considerably reduces production and processing times and lowers manufacturing costs. The particularly good saponification resistance of this plasticizer prolongs the life of PVC. Furthermore, PVC film containing Mesamoll II displays excellent heat-sealing characteristics, and in contrast to many conventional plasticizers, products manufactured with Mesamoll II have excellent weathering resistance and printability.

Mesamoll II is suitable for a large number of applications which include toys, gloves, film for water beds, sealants and casting compounds for the construction sector, as well as swimming floats and rubber boots.

LANXESS’s Functional Chemicals (FCC) business unit supplies polymer additives, phosphorus and specialty chemicals and organic and inorganic colorants for a variety of industrial sectors. FCC belongs to the Performance Chemicals segment, which achieved sales of EUR 1,977 million in fiscal 2005.
