SUGGESTED FORMULATIONS
:
Uniplex FRP-45 is used as a total, or partial, replacement for conventional
plasticizers, such as Uniplex 546 (Trioctyltrimellitate). The total plasticizer
content of polyvinyl chloride compounds should be in the range of 40 - 50 parts
plasticizer per 100 parts polyvinyl chloride resin. A typical formulation for wire
and cable is:
