Arkema has the ability to produce material with exacting specifications to meet varied customer requirements.  Contact us today to start moving in the right direction.

Applications for Vikoflex^® include:

• PVD Plasticization: improves low temperature properties of flesible PVC
• Acid and Mercaptan Scavenging:  for use in Agricultural formuations
• Additives for Specialty Coatings, Adhesives, Urethanes: aids in flexibility or hardening
• Reactive Diluents: for use in epoxy resin, cationic and UV cure applications
• Additives to Polyurethane Flexible Foam - for "greener" system components
• Intermediates: for surfactants, and lube and fuel additives

Products include:

Vikoflex^® 4050 is a low temperature octyl epoxy ester plasticizer which provides improved heat and light stability in vinyl formulations.

Vikoflex^® 5075 is a high quality monomeric epoxy plasticizer which offers low volatility, low temperature flexibility and high compatibility in polyvinyl chloride systems. The low viscosity of Vikoflex^® 5075 epoxidized propylene glycol dioleate plasticizer makes it suitable for plastisol and organosol formulations. The epoxy functionality provides excellent heat and light stability.

Vikoflex^® 7170 adds a new dimension to improvements in epoxidized soybean oils. High oxirane efficiency from specially processed soybean oil produces a total compatibility and stabilization performance which is improved to many present and past commercial products.

Vikoflex^® 7190 is a specialized premium-quality epoxidized linseed oil with outstanding performance properties distinguishing it from all currently available epoxidized linseed oils. Its high compatibility and heat and light stability enable Vikoflex^® 7190 epoxidized linseed oil to function as a primary, polymeric type, plasticizer-stabilizer.
