Jayflex plasticizers provide an optimized balance between product performance and cost. ExxonMobil Chemical's broad grade slate and extensive experience in formulating PVC compounds offers an effective means to meet manufacturing and end-use requirements. An Optimized Balance Between Cost and Performance To determine which raw materials meet primary end use requirements, the basic physical properties are screened to designate acceptable materials. The physical properties most commonly used for screening are hardness and stress-strain properties (tensile strength, elongation and 100% modulus). The following links provide information on how Jayflex plasticizers affect key characteristics of vinyl compounds: Computer Formulation and Costing JCOST is a formulation costing program that calculates formulation costs based on user input data. COPPCO is a computer-based program that uses preliminary calculations to predict a vinyl compound's physical properties. By reducing laboratory-testing time, this useful tool can save both time and money. |
