PLASTHALL BBP is an excellent general-purpose plasticizer with strong solvent action on a wide variety of resins. In polyvinyl chloride hot-processing operations such as calendaring or extruding, PLASTHALL BBP imparts excellent processing characteristics since it significantly reduces the molten viscosity.

PLASTHALL BBP imparts excellent tear, tensile and abrasion resistance. It is outstanding among primary plasticizers in its resistance to extraction by gasoline and oil and to staining by common household materials.

PLASTHALL BBP is an excellent plasticizer for nitrocellulose lacquers and films and for polyvinyl acetate. Compared to DBP, it offers greatly improved permanence (lower volatility) and improved resistance to extraction by water. Acrylic coatings plasticized with PLASTHALL BBP possess excellent gloss, resistance to water spotting and effects of humidity. It imparts excellent flowout and flexibility. These outstanding performance characteristics have made it the standard plasticizer for this type of lacquer.

With ethyl cellulose, PLASTHALL BBP produces clear sheets, molding, films and hot metal (dip) compositions for packaging and protective coatings, imparting minimum heat degradation, maximum oil and water resistance, good permanence, clarity and toughness.
