1 The essence of performance Our high-quality polymer additives

2 Expertise of a strong partner LANXESS has the experience and sound market knowledge of an established global player combined with the commitment of a new, young enterprise. This is a combination that makes LANXESS strong and active. We are ready to break new ground, when and wherever our customers ask us to go. Developments in the plastics sector today often involve the meaningful modification of known polymers. This often leads to specific properties which are precisely matched to the later use of the semi-finished or finished product. LANXESS s broad and versatile range of polymer additives comprising blowing agents, bonding agents, modifiers, plasticizers and sodium alkane sulfonates makes it possible for you to develop unique products. Our polymer additives combined with our expertise and technical support provide a basis for your innovations and product optimizations.

3 Blowing Agents Chemical blowing agents are organic or inorganic additives used in the manufacture of polymeric foams. The outstanding features of polymeric foams are weight reduction, the lower amount of polymer which has to be used, resulting in a more economical use of energy and lower cost, and improved sound and heat insulation. Bonding Agents Bonding Agents are reactive systems that improve the adhesion and bond strength of flexible PVC coatings on polyester and polyamide fabrics. Typical fields of application for our bonding agents are the production of truck tarpaulins, materials for textile structures such as airdomes and tent roofs, conveyor belts, high performance foils and protective clothing. Modifiers Modifiers are polymeric additives incorporated into plastics frequently PVC to improve its processability and to obtain additional valuable product properties such as heat resistance, impact strength, abrasion resistance, solvent resistance, fuel resistance and more. Plasticizers Whenever plastics need to have high elasticity and flexibility, plasticizers provide the answer. But this is not their only benefit. They also optimize, for example, the processing properties of polymer materials, which leads to improved product quality or even new properties. The choice of plasticizers depends on the demand placed on the finished product. These can include greater softness, elasticity, flame retardant properties or resistance to chemicals, weathering and migration. Sodium Alkane Sulfonates (SAS) Sodium alkane sulfonates are surface-active additives, which are used for emulsion polymerisations, and as raw materials for textile processing chemicals, leather auxiliaries, detergents and cleaning products.

Bonding Agents Bonding Agent 2001 Bonding Agent 2005 Bonding Agent TP LXS Bonding Agent TP LXS Aromatic polyisocyanurate in DBP, Almost colourless, viscous liquid Aromatic polyisocyanurate in butyl acetate, Almost colourless, low viscous liquid Aromatic polyisocyanurate in DINP, Almost colourless, viscous liquid Aromatic polyisocyanurate in Mesamoll, Yellow, viscous liquid Reactive bonding agents which improve the adhesion of PVC plastisol coatings to substrates made of polyester or polyamide fibres. The choice of the bonding agent system depends above all on the demands made on the finished product, the conditions in which the base coat plastisol is formulated, the type of the coating equipment used and the residence time in the gelling tunnel. Typical fields of application include tarpaulins for lorries, awnings, air inflated structures and other textile constructions. Bonding Agent TN/N Hydroxyl group containing polyester, liquid One of the two component (2C) bonding agents that give a particular lightfastness to white or translucent PVC coatings. Pot Life Enhancer 9142 Organic acid chloride in DINP, Light yellow to brownish liquid Additive which ensures a long potlife for PVC plastisols and bonding agent systems.
