Description
Polyflo® 20 is a premium aromatic process oil characterized as a C11-C30 mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons specifically formulated for use as a secondary plasticizer and extender oil in polymer processing applications. This high-aromaticity oil delivers excellent compatibility and solvency with polar polymers including flexible PVC, polyurethane elastomers, natural and synthetic rubbers, and epoxy systems. The low mixed aniline point (32.0°C maximum) indicates strong aromatic character and superior solvating power, enabling efficient dispersion of fillers, improved processing characteristics, and enhanced flexibility in finished products. With a controlled viscosity range of 25.0-29.0 cSt @ 40°C, Polyflo® 20 provides optimal flow characteristics for uniform blending and consistent compound properties. The high flash point of 280°F minimum ensures enhanced safety during processing operations at elevated temperatures typical of polymer compounding and extrusion applications.
- Excellent Polymer Compatibility: Low mixed aniline point (32.0°C max) indicates high aromatic content for superior solvency and compatibility with polar polymers including PVC, polyurethanes, and SBR.
- Secondary Plasticizer Function: Extends primary plasticizers while maintaining compound flexibility, reducing formulation costs without sacrificing performance.
- Optimal Processing Viscosity: 25.0-29.0 cSt @ 40°C provides ideal flow characteristics for efficient mixing, uniform filler dispersion, and consistent compound properties.
- High Flash Point Safety: 280°F minimum flash point enables safer processing at elevated temperatures typical of polymer compounding operations.
