| New Webinar Shows Compounders How to Optimize Plasticizers with The Paraplex® Approach |
| The HallStar Company has released a free, on-demand webinar to demonstrate the Paraplex Approach, an innovative way for compounders to develop new PVC and nitrile rubber products based on end-use properties they select. These custom-engineered plasticizers offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional “off-the-shelf” products by optimizing the performance composition for each application. Using a computer-aided response surface map, the Paraplex Approach webinar shows how ideal performance levels vary in different applications based on critical properties selected by the compounder. The maps demonstrate how to adjust the plasticizer’s composition to maintain optimal performance while reducing raw material costs. “With the Paraplex Approach, you don’t pay for performance you don’t need,” said presenter Kim Stefanisin, Senior Chemist at HallStar. “You get a custom-designed plasticizer that fits the exact needs of your application.” The Paraplex Approach webinar is the newest title in HallStar’s online media system called StarNet (www.hallstar.com/starnet). This educational series teaches compounders and formulators how to integrate new chemical technologies into plasticizer and personal care applications. Each webinar is presented by a HallStar scientist, who discusses technical properties and demonstrates how they can be put to work in real-world products to solve problems and optimize performance. HallStar webinars are available 365/24/7 from the HallStar website at www.hallstar.com/starnet. Current titles for polymer additive compounders include: • Improved Performance Properties in Vamac®: TegMeR 812 • Paraplex® Approach: Custom Engineered Plasticizers Titles for personal care formulators include: • Patented Photostabilizing Strategies for Sun Care: HallBrite® BHB & Spectrasolv® DMDA • Patented Photostabilizing Strategies for Sun Care: Polycrylene® • Patented Photostabilizing Strategies for Sun Care: SolaStay™ S1 • HallBrite® BHB for Color Cosmetics Follow HallStar on Twitter at twitter.com/hallstar. |
