Solutions by Application
Catalysts for Polymer Synthesis
Noblyst® – Precious metal catalysts on various supports for selective hydrogenation in fixed-bed (Noblyst®) and batch or slurry (Noblyst® P) processes.
Polyurethane Building Blocks
- VESTANAT® – Cycloaliphatic di- and polyisocyanates for light-stable, weather-resistant polyurethane networks.
- VESTAMIN® – Cycloaliphatic diamines such as VESTAMIN® IPD, used as chain extenders in polyurethanes and as hardeners for epoxy systems with high chemical resistance, high heat distortion temperature and color stability.
Polyester Components
OXYESTER® – OXYESTER® T 1136 – Linear saturated polyester diol (hydroxyl number 107 mg KOH/g), developed as a flexibilizing polyol for aliphatic PU elastomers, 2K high-solids and 1K stoving coatings, and polyurethane dispersions.
