Performance is critical with all types of adhesives and coatings, and here aqueous dispersions and emulsions play a key role in achieving adhesive cohesion while addressing challenges such as weathering, scrub resistance and water vapour permeability. 

A critical part of PPE, and in increased demand since the pandemic, our range of aqueous dispersions, including antioxidants, accelerators, curing and vulcanisation agents, can be applied to both natural and synthetic latex to improve strength, elasticity, chemical resistance and performance. 

Shelf life, perishability and durability are some of the key issues we address in areas such as food packaging with our innovations in polymers. We’re also helping our customers tackle the increasingly pressing issue of recycling, compostability and biodegradability.

As the demand for rubber expands and competition increases, performance is a key criteria for a wide range of products. Our innovative vulcanising agents provide rubber formulations with the performance characteristics demanded by today’s market, such as tensile strength, elasticity, colour protection and water/vapour-proofing.

Our formulations of water-based dispersions are used in the PVC and polymer industries. Here, our range of antioxidant dispersions act as chain stoppers and play a critical role in the production of PVC, ABS or MBS polymers - typically used in the automotive, industrial and consumer goods industries.
