Emerald Kalama Chemical has announced that patents and applications in use for K-FLEX^® 975P, a low-VOC dibenzoate plasticizer and coalescent, were recently granted in Europe, the U.S., Canada, Russia, and countries in Asia. Emerald has reportedly validated the European patent in many EU countries and has additional patent applications pending. 

“It is important in end uses to optimize and tailor performance properties specific to that application,” said Wendy Herbst, director of marketing. “As a result of the patent covering K-FLEX 975P when it is used by itself or in blends with other common plasticizers, there are endless combinations and results that formulators can achieve that are not seen elsewhere.”
