Plasticizers play a crucial role when it comes to making plastics and other materials that can actually be used for manufacturing purposes. Nearly every industry uses plasticizers in order to make materials more flexible and malleable, and overall easier to shape. Without them, many of the materials used today would either be extremely difficult or even impossible to manufacture into usable products.

At Broadview Technologies, we have developed a line of specialty plasticizers in partnership with Cambridge Industries, Resoflex. Our Resoflex products offer excellent stability and flexibility for a wide range of different polymer materials, especially reusable adhesives. Here are just a few of the benefits our specialty plasticizers have to offer.

High Stability in Any Environment

All of the Resoflex plasticizers are completely saturated, ensuring excellent chemical and temperature stability. They won’t easily degrade like other plasticizers when exposed to UV light, oxygen, extreme heat or cold, or even ozone. Resoflex is not a volatile or toxic material either, and experiences no plasticizer migration, maintaining its flexibility and chemical properties in virtually any environment.

Excellent Durability

The Resoflex line offers some of the most durable, long-lasting specialty plasticizers on the market, for both indoor and outdoor applications. Resoflex resists oils, fats, grease, gasoline, in addition to UV light and extreme temperatures. Our plasticizers are water insoluble as well, offering protection against damp environments indoors and out. 

Versatile Use Across Industries

Though the Resoflex specialty plasticizers were initially designed for remoistenable adhesives, they’ve been successful in a wide range of other applications as well:

• Polyester Foam
• Food Packaging Coatings
• Nylon Coatings
• Barrier Coatings for Vinyls
• Leather finishes
• Washable fabrics
• Primers, Sealers, and Paints
• Laminations

And these are just a few of the ways that the Resoflex products have been used. The Resoflex line continues to be one of the most versatile and flexible plasticizers on the market.

Flame retardancy has become a characteristic with increasing importance in the world of composite materials, especially as these composites become more widely used in day-to-day consumer lives. Better flame retardancy not only protects the end-use products, but also helps to reduce fire-related accidents and improve the safety of the user and the general environment. However, traditional fire retardant chemicals are under scrutiny because they can result in highly toxic by-products and even impact the actual properties when integrated with composite materials. 

Many polymers used in the making of composites burn easily when exposed to flames. So, manufacturers have turned to experts like Broadview for fire retardant chemicals that not only enhance flame retardancy without impacting the material’s properties, but also meet wider environmental and safety regulations.

Phosphorus-Based Intumescent Fire Retardant Chemicals from Broadview Technologies

Broadview Technologies has spent decades in material science research and development for some of the most demanding, high-performance applications when it comes to fire retardants and related needs. We took on the challenge of creating intumescent agents that could be used in the making of composites and resins, without impacting their end-use performance. The result was our patented INTUMAX® line of fire retardant chemicals, all of which are halogen-free and exhibit low solubility in water. 

Our team has continued to improve and expand our product offerings under the INTUMAX® line, creating products that could be used in paints, potting compounds, films, laminates and a variety of different composites. All of our INTUMAX® fire retardant chemicals can be browsed over on our Data Sheets, and here are just a couple of examples of what we have to offer:

• Intumax AC-2BG can be incorporated into a wide range of materials, from coatings to resin systems, extinguishing flames when exposed and preventing further spread.
• Intumax PE-001 both protects the material and reduces the brittleness that tends to occur in resin systems.
• Intumax AC-3WM is a water insoluble and halogen-free fire retardant chemical perfect for indoor and outdoor resin systems, as well as a variety of paints and adhesives. 
• Intumax DBK is a great choice for urethane adhesives, electrical potting, and non-skid coatings, being a highly-efficient fire retardant.
