Plasticisers are high boiling liquids added to plastic polymers to impart toughness and flexibility at ordinary temperature. Which of the following is not a plasticiser ?
Correct answer: A. Ethylene glycol
- A. Ethylene glycol
- B. Stearic acid estors
- C. Tricresyl phosphate
- D. Esters of phthalic acid
Explanation
Phthalate esters, tricresyl phosphate and stearic-acid esters are standard plasticisers because they reduce intermolecular attraction and increase flexibility. Ethylene glycol is not normally listed as a plasticiser in this group of high-boiling plasticising additives.
