Webinar: Achieving Future Sustainability Goals through Plasticizer Optimization

March 17, 2026; 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET

Webinar Description: As the development of next-generation rubber products advances, formulators face the challenge of aligning raw material selection with critical sustainability goals. This webinar begins with each component of an elastomer formulation, including the polyester plasticizer. Achieving these sustainability targets requires balancing several factors: incorporating bio-derived raw materials, reducing product carbon footprint (PCF), controlling formulation costs and enhancing product performance.

This webinar explores raw material selection in the synthesis of polyester plasticizers and highlights the opportunities available to formulators to reduce environmental impact. Some take aways/learning objectives are:

• Functions of plasticizers in elastomer compounds
• Key factors in plasticizer selection to enhance product performance
• Gaining a better understanding of the wide range of available plasticizers and their respective benefits
