Chemicals up close

Thermoplastic resins are the plastics of everyday life. We encounter them in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, e.g. as food packaging, pipes, ballpoint pens or power tools. Apart from an extensive portfolio of engineering plastics and commodity plastics, we also retain a variety of specialities for this extensive range of applications such as Polyamide 12, partially aromatic polyamides or tailor-made TPEs set at customer specifications. After all, special applications require individual product solutions.

Additives for manufacturing and processing of thermoplastic resins and PVC also account for a major section of our product range, whereby flame retardants and synergistic additives as well as polyethylene waxes in particular play a key role. Their specific properties allow added values to products in many other applications such as in the manufacture of adhesives as well as dispersions and emulsions.

The diversity of oleochemicals is reflected in our extensive product portfolio based on vegetable and animal raw materials: fatty acids, glycerines, fatty acid esters, fatty amines and castor oil derivatives are used in detergents, lubricants, textile and leather auxiliary materials or rubber, for example. Our long-term ties to suppliers in Europe and overseas make us an experienced sales partner for this particular family of raw materials.
