Efka® PL 5382
Higher purified version of Efka PL 5381, with a slightly broader food contact range; contains bio-based materials.
Efka PL 5382 is an epoxy plasticizer for the paint industry. This light yellow liquid is made from epoxidized soybean oil. It protects paints and plastics against the influence of heat, light and weather, and thereby improves whiteness and resistance to ageing. It is compatible with PVC, many other plastics, synthetic resins, plasticizers and gives transparent films. It can be hardened with acids, anhydrides, and amines. Moreover, it remains stable even at higher temperatures.
