PhosflexTM 362 is a highly efficient plasticizer for PVC, with very good low temperature flexibility and excellent solvating properties for fast fusion. One of the unique characteristics of Phosflex® 362 is its ability to reduce flammability while also reducing smoke. Typically when flame retardants are used, the combustion efficiency of the compound is decreased, and as a result, smoke (incomplete combustion particles and gases) increase. PhosflexTM 362 can deliver low smoke properties and effective levels of flame retardancy in many types of polymer systems, especially flexible vinyl and vinyl alloys. PhosflexTM 362 has excellent compatibility in PVC and other plastics. Formulated correctly, it performs well in vinyl composites for outdoor applications where exposure to UV irradiation and weathering is critical. PhosflexTM 362 has been found useful in flame retardant foamed vinyl and vinyl alloys (PVC/nitrile rubber), calendared sheet goods, and outdoor PVC applications. In certain rubbers, it can be useful as a solvating material to improve the tactile feel and flexibility of elastomeric composites. PhosflexTM 362 also has the advantage of FDA approvals for certain food packaging applications
