agpure® is designed for the antimicrobial functionalization of surfaces and bulk materials. Due to the high activity of nanoparticles only low levels of silver are necessary for the best antimicrobial performance. Consequently, the release of silver ions can be fixed at an accurate level ensuring the best antimicrobial efficacy and thus also avoiding cytotoxicity. Potential applications of agpure® products range from paints, varnishes and coatings over thermoplastic, duroplastic and elastomeric polymers to textile fibers. agpure® is also utilized as an antimicrobial additive for many chemical formulations like detergents, cleaners, cosmetics and especially certain resins based on organic substances.

The raw material for our PP regranulates consists mainly of cups, trays and bottle tops. That is why the material is particularly well suited for injection molding. In terms of its composition and properties, our PP corresponds to a heterophase copolymer (HECO) existing in the virgin material. The mechanical properties can be varied over a wide spectrum.

The leading brand of environment-friendly, waterborne acrylic emulsion technology solutions for adhesives, PSA, architectural binders, thickeners, fabric color deepeners, etc.

GRANUTEC® vermiculite Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral filler, consisting primarily of magnesium silicate and aluminum, whose appearance resembles that of mica. This ore has golden lamellar particles, arranged in inter-lamellar spaces occupied by water molecules. When vermiculite is subjected to thermal shock, vermiculite has the unusual property of being expanded or expanded, due to the generation of steam from inter-lamellar spaces. This phenomenon leads to the formation of particles of beige colour, very light, of shape comparable to that of an accordion.

FireBinder is a powdered natural resin added to waterproofing formulations for the packaging of fireworks and signal cartridges. The main ingredient for this plant-based product is obtained from a native Brazillian tree, the Parana Pine.

KURARAY POVAL™ is the brand name of Kuraray’s globally produced polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). KURARAY POVAL™ features an extremely wide-ranging field of applications. The main uses are in the paper, adhesive, textile and construction industries, as well as in ceramics, packaging and electronics. The physical and chemical properties make PVOH very versatile. It features water-solubility, excellent film forming characteristics, high tensile strength and elasticity, as well as resistance against organic solvents and dispersing power. Reactivity of numerous hydroxyl groups with substances such as aldehydes and other reactive compounds expand the range even wider.

Neralit polyvinyl chloride is produced by suspension polymerisation of vinyl chloride in an aqueous medium in the presence of catalysts and suspension stabilizers. The resulting product is a fine, white, easily-pourable powder made up of grains with narrow particle size distribution. The properties of suspension Neralit PVC powder depend on the additives used during polymerisation, on the temperature regime of polymerisation, on the method and intensity of mixing the suspension, and on a number of other factors at work during production.

Foral resin is the pentaerythritol ester of highly-hydrogenated, refined rosin.

KVIS is the trade name of polyisobutylene produced by Kothari Petrochemicals Limited. KVIS is a linear polymer of isobutylene of different molecular weights, and possesses excellent resistance to oxidative and thermal degradation. Polyisobutylene is chemically inert, hydrophobic and impermeable to water vapor or gas.The KVIS is a synthetic liquid polymer, which is a straight chain hydrocarbon structure of Polyisobutylene that is produced in a variety of grades through a rigid low temperature polymerization process. It is derived from raw material consisting of mainly Isobutylene. The compact straight chain structure results in brilliant moisture and barrier properties and is soluble in a wide range of organic solvents.All KVIS grades are colorless, non-staining and have little or no odor.Polyisobutylene belongs to the group of viscous and non-drying liquid polymers. The grades vary from low viscous oil to a high viscous liquid and with a degree of tackiness that is on the higher side. All these unique characteristics and its compatibility with a wide range of organic materials augment the performance properties of a wide range of products in various industries, and have made it one of the most sought after product in the world.
