Brands in Rheology Modifiers

St. Louis Group offers a wide range of highly effective liquid & powder phosphorus based flame retardants. Specialty dispersions, blends, and masterbatches are available upon request.

OPTIPET™ enhances properties of polymer compounds thus enabling their increased adoption in automotive, wire & cable, wood plastics composites, flexible packaging, white goods and recycling industries.

Santicizer® Plasticizers offer all the benefits of high solvating plasticizers including compatibility in multiple polymer systems such as Polysulfide, PVC and Polyurethane. Because of their high efficiency, less energy is required to fuse PVC formulations. These materials are well suited for plastisol applications, but can easily be used in almost any polymer system that requires additional flexibility and softness.

VINNEX® is WACKER’s trade name for a polyvinyl acetate-based additive system for compatibilizing different biopolymers with one another, so allowing a new generation of bioplastics to be formulated. Moreover, VINNEX® simplifies processing by traditional methods.

Evonik is the inventor of AEROSIL® fumed silica, which is a synthetic fumed silica that is produced by flame hydrolysis. For over 70 years AEROSIL® has proven to enhance performance in many markets and applications. Today Evonik's AEROSIL® portfolio covers a broad range of surface areas, as well as very different surface chemistries. Also, AEROSIL® does not get tired in finding new markets, applications and effects. AEROSIL® is invented to improve.

HIFILL® ground calcium carbonate fillers are produced from a uniquely occurring, high brightness calcite feedstock. Available in a range of particle distributions and packing configurations, HIFILL offers versatile filling options and cost effective performance in a broad range of liquid and powder coatings. With exceptional whiteness, HIFILL is ideally suited for use in brightly colored and contractor grade trade paints and masonry coatings. The low oil absorption of HIFILL can help maximize loading levels in either water or solvent based systems with only minimal impact upon viscosity.

NOVIS™ enhances properties of polymer compounds thus enabling their increased adoption in automotive, wire & cable, wood plastics composites, flexible packaging, white goods and recycling industries.

Rheovis® types are rheology modifiers that enable formulators to adjust the flow behavior of their automotive & industrial coatings products. That way they benefit from improved viscosity behavior and application characteristics.

"Our additives and ingredients enhance manufacturing processes and the performance of products. Thomas Swan has developed a range of viscosity-reduction additives for the rubber processing and polymer industries, providing time, energy, cost and environmental benefits. Pepton® chemical peptisers catalyze the mastication of rubber, providing time, energy, cost and environmental benefits. The dibenzamido diphenyl disulphide (DBD) chemistry used to produce the active ingredient within Pepton® is widely considered by the rubber processing industry to be more environmentally acceptable than traditional pentachloro thiophenol based peptisers. Thomas Swan’s DBD is the only fully REACH registered chemical peptiser. A range of formulated Pepton® products is available, each having different concentrations of the active ingredient combined with a range of complementary proprietary additives that enhance peptising performance."

Evonik is one of the leading producers of nanostructured metal oxides. These are highly pure aluminum oxides or titanium dioxides. Evonik's portfolio also consists of a growing range of hydrophobic and mixed oxides grades. AEROXIDE® fumed titanium dioxide and aluminum oxide products are applied in a wide range of markets and applications such as anti-blocking agent in PET films and heat stabilizer in silicone rubber. Evonik's experienced global Applied Technology team keeps developing new applications in close collaboration with customers.

We deal with Tackifiers based on Rosin, Rosin Derivatives and Petroleum Resins.

WARADUR® montan waxes are used as high performance additives in the plastics industry, due to their unique properties and versatility. Montan wax derivatives serve for example as combined external and internal lubricants, dispersing agents and surface improvers in many types of plastics and processing methods. They are therefore particularly valued for technically challenging tasks in the engineering plastics field where high demands are placed on functionality, optical appearance and cycle time reduction. WARADUR® montan waxes in addition also provide excellent lubricating and mold release properties for thermosets.

NEWOTEC is a Deaerating agent for PVC plastisols also Dispersing agent for pigments/fillers in organic liquids.

GENIOPLAST® from WACKER are silicone-based additives and production aids for both standard thermoplastics and engineering plastics. GENIOPLAST® pellets and GENIOPLAST® additives for wood plastic composites (WPCs) enhance processes and products in the melt-processing industry.

MASEMUL® emulsifiers are a range of products that are used in a variety of food applications ranging from bakery, confectionery, margarine, frozen desserts and dairy. Emulsifiers perform various functions such as the emulsification of two or more immiscible phases, starch complexing and dough strengthening in bread-making, demulsification in ice-cream, and as a drying agent for yeast. They are used in the following applications.

CAPMUL® multi-functional, high purity monoesters provide superior skin penetration and emolliency with excellent effects against microorganisms. Certain grades of CAPMUL® may be used to inhibit the growth of gram positive and negative bacteria, yeast, and mold in many "preservative free" products. They are used to produce stable emulsions, to modify viscosity and they can act as carriers and vehicles in selected applications.
