UNIPLEX 108

N-ETHYL o/p-TOLUENE SULFONAMIDE

CAS NO. 1077-5601 AND 80-39-7, and 8047-99-02

UNIPLEX 108 is one of the most widely compatible plasticizers. It readily plasticizes nylon, other polyamides, shellac, cellulose acetate and protein materials. UNIPLEX 108 is outstanding for making compounds resistant to oils, solvents, and greases.

For nylons, UNIPLEX 108 is one of the best plasticizers known. However, unless FDA clearance is needed, UNIPLEX 214 is a more economical choice. UNIPLEX 108 imparts toughness without adversely affecting other properties. It lowers the melting point and improves low temperature flexibility.

In polyvinyl acetate adhesives, UNIPLEX 108's good grease resistance and flexibility develops good tack for joining difficult surfaces, such as metal to rubber. In hot melts, UNIPLEX 108 improves flexibility for formulating book bindings and shoe adhesives.

In cellulose acetate formulations, UNIPLEX 108 imparts excellent brilliance and gloss, while improving water and scuff resistance, oil resistance, and gives heat and light resistance to discoloration.

In nitrocellulose lacquers, UNIPLEX 108 enhances adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to water, oils, and greases.

UNIPLEX 108 is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) according to Code of Federal Regulation 21:

175.105 (Indirect food additives, adhesives, and coatings)

175.300 (Resinous and polymeric coatings)
