Product Applications

K-FLEX® 975P has been found to perform well in the following applications:

  • Plastisols
  • Melt compound flexible vinyl applications
  • Architectural latex coatings as a low VOC coalescent/plasticizer
  • Other coatings, including graphic arts applications, waterborne overprint varnish and waterborne flexographic ink
  • Latex adhesives

Due to its lower freeze point, K-FLEX® 975P also has better handling properties than other modern binary dibenzoate blends. For this new product additional applications are being considered such as in latex caulks and sealants. Another benefit provided by K-FLEX® 975P is that it is considered a low vapor pressure-volatile organic compound (LVP-VOC) by Rule 310 of CARB, meaning that K-FLEX® 975P is not considered a VOC in California for applications such as latex caulk.
