Plasticizers – These help to increase the plasticity of the plastics.
eg. Vegetable oil, camphor, esters of stearic, tri-phenyl phosphate, diethyl phthalate, etc
Functions;
These help to reduce the forces of intermolecular attraction & thereby increases tendency of sliding or moving.
Thus the plastics which are plasticized possess high percentage of flexibility.
They are essentially used in thermo softening plastics.
