Abstract

The compatibility of PVC with poly(diethylene glycol adipate) Mn = 1500 was evaluated by DSC, indicating a limit value of 15 phr. The behavior of the oligomer as a PVC plasticizer, alone or in combination with dioctylphthalate (DOP), was investigated by measurements such as hardness, glass transition temperature, heat stability, and solvent resistance. In spite of its limited compatibility the oligoester can act as a secondary plasticizer enhancing the overall performance of the compositions.
