PARAPLEX® A-8000 is a low molecular weight polymeric ester. PARAPLEX® A-8000 offers the best low-temperature performance when compared to other polymeric plasticizers.
PARAPLEX® A-8000 also offers better permanence, volatility and migration resistance than monomeric plasticizers. Because of this combination of performance properties, PARAPLEX® A-8000 is a good general performance polymeric plasticizers.
