Product Bulletin reFlex ™ BioPlasticizers 100 Bioplasticizer Superior high-solvating plasticizer drives efficiency, productivity and performance. reFlex ™ 100 Solutions Many companies who have historically used fast gelling, high solvating plasticizers have been compelled by regulation or safety concerns to switch to alternative plasticizers, most of which are not as efficient and process more slowly. PolyOne’s reFlex 100 bioplasticizer provides customers with a powerful formulation tool providing an excellent balance of properties and improved productivity. reFlex 100 is an exceptional, high solvating, non-phthalate, bio-derived alternative to conventional high solvating plasticizers for use with both phthalate and non-phthalate plasticizer systems as described below.
