Plastics and Polymers

These products are used as monomers, initiators, hardeners and intermediates in polymer and resin production, and as additives in plastics processing.

Monomers and acid intermediates

• Acrylamide as a 98% powder and as 30% and 50% solutions, acrylic acid, styrene monomer, vinyl acetate monomer and itaconic acid.
• Adipic acid for nylon 6,6 and polyester polyols, maleic anhydride 99% for unsaturated polyester and alkyd resins, and 2-ethylhexanol and isobutanol as plasticizer and ester intermediates.

Polyols, glycols and polyethers

• Monoethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and monopropylene glycol technical grade for unsaturated polyester and polyurethane production.
• Polypropylene glycol 2000, technical glycerin for alkyd resins and refined castor oil as a natural polyol.

Initiators, hardeners and crosslinkers

• Ammonium, potassium and sodium persulfate as polymerization initiators, with Rongalit C as a redox initiator in emulsion polymerization.
• Diethylenetriamine 98.5%, aminoethylethanolamine 99.5% and dicyandiamide as epoxy hardeners and hardener intermediates.
• Formaldehyde solution 37% and urea for amino resin production, glyoxal 40% for resin synthesis and p-toluenesulfonic acid 70% as an acid catalyst.

Process additives

• Polyvinyl alcohol 17-88 and 24-88 as protective colloids in emulsion polymerization.
• Triisobutyl phosphate as a plasticizer and antifoaming agent, glyceryl monostearate as an antistatic and antifog additive in plastic packaging, hydroxylamine sulfate as a polymer additive intermediate, and titanium dioxide in rutile and anatase grades as a white pigment for plastics.
