INTRODUCTION
Thermoplastics are rarely used without additives. In fact, all the properties required for the finished object call for a skilful dosage of additives with specific action. The adjuvant which increases the flexibility of the polymer is a plasticizer, as defined in ISO 472 (1988) Plastics. Vocabulary is as follows.
