Abstract
Modifiers for use in vinyl flooring applications reduce or eliminate the need for traditional, general-purpose plasticizers in applications that require increased hardness or rigidity. High solvating, fast fusing modifiers, such as dibenzoates, added to LVT formulations provide unexpectedly increased flexural strength, hardness, indentation resistance and deflection not heretofore known or recognized in luxury vinyl tile formulations.
