Dispex® dispersing agents for water-based systems and universal pigment concentrates offer outstanding viscosity reduction, increased color intensity and exceptional hiding power.

Plastopal® is utilized in automotive OEM coatings and marine coatings. It is applicable in both automotive and marine environments, as well as in industrial coatings.

ULTRADUR® shows its strengths wherever high-quality and above all heavy-duty parts are required – for example in the automotive industry, in the electrics and electronic sectors. The range of applications which benefit from these properties of Ultradur® in both industry and everyday life is vast. A feature that is particularly important is the low water absorption and thus the fact that the mechanical and electrical properties are largely independent of the moisture content or the climatic surrounding conditions. Particularly for components that are safety-relevant and have to work reliably for the entire lifetime of a component, Ultradur® is indispensable.

Sovermol® line of natural-oil polyols, derived from renewable raw materials like rapeseed oil and castor oil, typically contains 80-100% bio-content. These products offer excellent resistance to hydrolysis, chemicals, UV degradation, and long-term weathering performance. These properties allow for a reduced carbon footprint both within the coating formulation and in the long-lasting performance of the finished coating.

Elastoflex® W is a soft foam system derived from MDI, TDI and/or their mixture that can be customized into different formulations with densities from 30 to 80 kg/m³ based on your specifications. Seats, arm rests and back rests in different rigidities can be made from one system using the same equipment can aid in effienciency and cost savings. Inserted lining fabric as well as upholstery inserts can be foamed directly in. Both Elastoflex® W based elastic foams for airborne noise and visco-elastic or high-insulation foams for structure-borne noise insulation comply with all acoustic requirements. Carpeting can be foam backed entirely or partially, just like engine encapsulation, dash cowl claddings or encapsulation of electronic components. This polyurethane foam has excellent absorption characteristics and also guarantees minimal resilience loss and an optimal microclimate. Flame-proof seating foams used for railways and aviation also comply with all customary fire protection standards.

Luhydran® is used in the automotive & transportation, consumer goods, and paints & coatings markets.

Laroflex® is used in the automotive & transportation, paints & coatings, and printing & packaging markets.

Hydropalat® wetting agents offer outstanding substrate-wetting, colorant-compatibilizing, flow-control, slip-control and anti-mar agents for water-based formulations.

Basonat® is a versatile product serving multiple markets including automotive & transportation, building & construction, consumer goods, and paints & coatings.

Luwipal® is used in the automotive & transportation, consumer goods, and paints & coatings markets.

Naftoseal® is used in automotive and transportation applications, including aerospace and aviation. It is designed for sealing and related tasks in these industries.

ULTRASON® is especially designed for applications that require high heat resistance ‒ it always keeps stiffness and dimensional stability even when used at very high temperatures. Its extraordinary property profile allows all ULTRASON® grades to be molded into high-quality, highly stressed parts for high-performance applications in a lot of industries.

Ardrox® brand is a well-established products range for the aerospace industry. It includes high-performance cleaner, pretreatment, paint stripper, corrosion protection and non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies.

Rheovis® additives encompass a broad portfolio of synthetic rheology modifiers designed for aqueous systems, including non-ionic associative (HEUR / HMPE), anionic associative (HASE) and non-associative anionic (ASE) technologies. Each product class has its own properties and applications to enable formulators to achieve their desired rheology profile with all types of resins. RHEOVIS PU and PE series of associative thickeners stand out as a class of groundbreaking additives based primarily on hydrophobically modified polyether and polyurethane derivatives. RHEOVIS HS and ASE are pH activated polyacrylate technology for ease of handling and in-can stability.

Efka® range of additives includes highly efficient and effective dispersing agents, wetting agents and surface modifiers, defoamers and rheology modifiers for solvent-borne formulations, including eco-friendly solutions.
