Mediaplast PM is a synthetic aromatic plasticizer based on polyalkylbenzene (bi- and trialkylated aromatics), which is mainly recommended for the use in elastomers with low to medium polarity, i.e. NR, IIR, BR, SBR, EP(D)M for example, but also CR, CM/CSM, EVA and PNR. Especially in polychloroprene the often used, expensive ester plasticizers can be replaces completely. The possible dosage depends on the chlorine level of the CR-type as well as the filler contend of the compound.

In unipolar compounds, compared to mineral oil plasticizers, extremely high dosages are possible without the danger of migration of the plasticizer.

Mediaplast PM has non-staining properties, therefore even light or colored compounds can be produces. The product is free of sulfur and its derivatives and has a high degree of saturation, therefore the produced rubber articles show excellent mechanical properties. Due to the very low setting point of approx. - 50 °C the finished products also have an extraordinary cold flexibility.

Mediaplast PM does not contain any heavy metals or polycyclic ingredients worth mentioning. Therefore it is not considered hazardous. Besides, the product is free of sulfur and its derivate which influences the aging resistance of the produced rubber articles positively.
