With a range of alkyl/aryl (meth)acrylates, aminofunctional monomers, methacrylamides, ether methacrylates, crosslinkers, HEMA for contact lenses, wet adhesion monomers and specialty intermediates, VISIOMER® has become a trusted partner in designing customized products to meet specific needs.

SPUR+* Prepolymers - Formulators for the construction, automotive, and other industries face the sizeable challenge of creating durable sealants and adhesives and an excellent building block technology to consider for use in such products are Momentive s SPUR prepolymers. This family of silane terminated polyurethanes is appealing because of the combination of a silane curing mechanism with a polyurethane backbone. The properties derived from these SPUR prepolymers give formulators broad latitude to assemble products to meet the varied and specific performance needs of the end user.

Ethocure series are UV/EB curable monomers that provide superior appearance, durability and near-zero VOC emissions to increase productivity and reduce overall cost. They are also cost-effective diluents compatible with a wide range of acrylated resins.

NOVEL Ethoxylates, nonionic surfactants, can be used in a variety of household and industrial cleaning applications. These unique surfactants will maximize your cleaning formulations with its fast cleaning kinetics and high performance characteristics. This product range is characterized by the following useful properties: high detergency and surface activity, good hard water stability, synergistic effects with other surfactants, favorable environmental characteristics, favorable emulsifying power, chemical stability over a wide pH range and user friendly viscosity and storage behavior. These characteristics make these products an ideal raw material building block for washing powder, detergent tablets, liquid detergents, detergency boosters, all-purpose cleaners, bathroom cleaners, floor cleaners, dishwashing detergents, vehicle cleaners and other defoamer and emulsifier applications.

Elite goals are to develop products that allow the chemist to formulate environmentally friendly inks, coatings and adhesives; not just for conventional UV/EB markets but also for new applications where solvent based systems are currently used. Working closely with the formulator Univar have developed a range of “Elite” oligomers that impart unique physical characteristics to both the cured and uncured film which has enabled UV/EB technology to be used in areas that would never have been considered a few years ago.

Loxanol® products are used to support the film-forming process of a paint or coating. BTC offers high-performance coalescing agents within this product group.

LIPOXOL, polyethylene glycol (PEGs), are essential auxiliaries in numerous application fields like household products and also serve as intermediates for the manufacture of emulsifiers. LIPOXOL grades provide a unique property profile, combining high water solubility, lubricity and low toxicity with excellent solvent properties. Our LIPOXOL products have various functions in various industries including acting as a solvent in cleaners and a binder in detergents and tablets.

TYTAN™ products strongly improves adhesion of printing inks to flexible and metal packaging films while enabling them to withstand heat sealing, freezer storage, abrasive handling, solvents, acids, greases during printing, packaging, storage and handling by consumers.

CARBODILITE, developed by Nisshinbo Chemical, is Polycarbodiimide composed from repeated chains of carbodiimide group [-N=C=N-] Our unique and advanced technology revolutionizes the conventional Carbodiimide chemistry and it creates the state-of-the-art product, “CARBODILITE”, which achieves both environmental characteristics and remarkable performance at the same time.

Methacrylate monomers are used in the production and modification of a wide variety of polymers – such as cast sheet, methacrylate molding compounds, artificial marble or PVC modifiers.

Momentive 's CoatOSil additives portfolio provides a broad range of products to address a large range of performance needs in the coatings industry. CoatOSil additives can improve coating processability and help enhance surface appearance. Momentive tailors the structure of each CoatOSil additive molecule and produces a variety of grades with differing utility in water or solvent borne coating application, whether the most critical properties are related to foam control, anti blocking, wetting, slip or flow and leveling.

VERSALINK® are low-reactivity aromatic amines for use in polyurea or polyurea-polyurethane hybrid formulations. They can be liquid-processed at room temperature with monomeric and polymeric MDI or TDI prepolymers as well as other diisocyanates and diisocayanate prepolymers. Pot life values can be controlled and are typically in the range of 1-45 minutes, depending upon the specific VERSALINK® and isocyanate used. VERSALINK® products are specialty polymeric, non-toxic diamines that can be used as curatives and chain extenders. The range consists of varying molecular weights for use in highperformance polyurethane, polyurea and polyurea-hybrid applications. They can be processed as a liquid and incorporated with MDI and TDI/MDI prepolymers to improve final performance properties. Formulations using our VERSALINK® curatives combine the high performance of polyurea with the ease of application due to the extended pot-life and application time
