Hallstar’s newest bio-based solution, HallGreen® P-55 GC, virtually eliminates the production of gas check defects in calendered PVC.
The revolutionary PVC modification technology is offered through a licensing agreement with McGill University.
As a response to the global TMA shortage, Hallstar has developed a new line of sustainable alternatives to TOTM chemistry. Plasthall® 318 and Plasthall® 406 are a versatile monomeric ester plasticizers designed to enhance the flexibility and performance of various thermoplastics and elastomers. Synthesized from bio-renewable and domestically sourced raw materials, these products provide an innovative solution for increasing bio-content in formulations with a stable supply chain.
Evaluations confirm that a polymeric adipate, when compared with a phthalate ester, can reduce solvent extraction in vinyl foam and increase energy dissipation while maintaining foam cell structure.
