Overview
Benzoflex™ 352 CHDM dibenzoate is a high-performance solid plasticizer engineered for research and development teams seeking innovative solutions in hot-melt adhesives, powder coatings, and specialty plastics. With its high melting point (118°C) and low volatility, Benzoflex™ 352 enables precise control over crystallization and viscosity, delivering faster set times, improved flow, and enhanced thermal stability. This non-phthalate plasticizer supports compliance with global regulations while offering superior mechanical properties and cohesive strength for advanced formulations. Ideal for optimizing performance, processing efficiency, and sustainability, Benzoflex™ 352 provides a reliable platform for developing next-generation adhesives and polymer compounds.
Features & Benefits
- High melting point
- Higher service temperature than liquid plasticizers
- Viscosity control and fast set times
- Less volatile at high temperature
- Compatible with most polymer adhesive systems as a plasticizer to improve viscosity and elasticity
- Increases roller and machine life
- Increased set-time functionality and hot tack without imparting too much pressure-sensitive character
- Maximizes production
- Domestically produced in the USA for supply chain stability
- Two isomers with different melting points
- Improves crystallization rate
Problems Solved
Residual or sticky hot-melt adhesives on rolls
Yellowing issues in powder coating
Vinyl extrusion processing that induces stress cracking
Lack of supply chain stability due to imported plasticizers
Increase in crystallization rate
Liquid plasticizers that create weaker cohesive strength
Plasticizers that do not provide extended open time, slowing overall production
Applications
RV manufacturing
Hot-melt adhesives
Laminates and flat panels
Carpeting wood products
Cooling tower fill
Powder coatings
Hot-melt equipment cleaner
