Solutions by Application
Polymerization & Initiation
- Catylen®, Butene-1, 4-Hydroxy TEMPO – High-purity intermediates and catalysts for controlled polymer growth and efficient initiation in polyethylene and polypropylene production.
- VESTANAT® - Isocyanate-based hardeners deliver exceptional mechanical properties and chemical resistance for various applications. Products like VETSANT® IPDI help control polymerization speed and process reliability.
- Hydrogen peroxide serves as an initiator for catalytic polymerization reactions by providing a free radical source.
- Ammonium, potassium, and sodium persulfates are used as initiators for emulsion polymerization reactions in the preparation of acrylics, polyvinyl chlorides, polystyrenes, and neoprene. Persulfate initiation is used to prepare latex polymers for paints and coatings.
Surface Modification & Dispersion
- Dynasylan®, SiYPro®, SURFYNOL®, TEGOMER®, TEGOPREN®, TEGO® – Silanes and surfactants that improve pigment dispersion, adhesion, and compatibility in polymer dispersions and coatings.
Functional Fillers & Rheology Control
- AEROSIL®, SIPERNAT® – Fumed and precipitated silicas that enhance mechanical properties, flow behavior, and thermal stability in PVC and thermoplastics.
Emulsifiers & Wetting Agents
