Thixofix™ Eco Eco-Friendly Water Based Contact Adhesive is an easy to use, water-based high performance contact adhesive based on polychloroprene latex that has been developed especially to make high strength, permanent bonds on a wide variety of materials. It also features a novel built-in indicator for the correct time to bond materials together. Alpha Thixofix Eco is an ecologically friendly, non-hazardous adhesive that removes the risks associated with traditional solvent-based contact adhesives without compromising on bonding performance and durability.

CP-500W is a one component, VOC compliant, penetrating water repellent which contains a proprietary modified siloxane. This water-based siloxane penetrates most masonry and concrete pores and capillaries up to ¼ inch or more depending on surface porosity and moisture content at the time of application. CP-500W reacts with the silica in concrete and masonry in the presence of ultraviolet light and atmospheric moisture. This reaction forms strong permanent bonds beneath the surface and creates a hydrophobic zone that prevents water molecules from penetrating, while allowing free migration of water vapors. The chemical bonds formed in this process allow CP-500W to become integral part of the substrate and provide long-term water repellent protection.

Hi-NicalonTM has great intermediate strength, modulus properties and thermal stability Hi-NicalonTM is under production operation and being qualified by US customers. The process is characterized and manufactured to internal and customer specifications.

Often, fillers have to meet very special requirements. In such cases not only good dispersion characteristics are of importance, but also mechanical and dynamic properties of the final products. Improved electrical insulation resistance, better aging and fluid resistance in many materials and improved anticorrosion properties have a crucial role to play in many areas. At Hoffmann Mineral, we developed Aktisil to meet such customer requirements. This special filler is made by treating the surface of Neuburg Siliceous Earth with chemical agents, mostly silanes. The reaction by-products (e.g. alcohol) formed during the manufacture of the different products of Aktisil are largely removed right away during the process. The coupling reaction fixes the silane to the surface of the filler. Any undesirable side-effects that can occur during mixing by direct addition of the silane are virtually eliminated. So the customer can choose from a complete product range of many different types of Aktisil. This is the result of many years of in-house experience and of close cooperation with customers. Know-how for users’ benefit.

An anti-slip system suitable for use on roads, bridges, multistorey car parks, airports, boat decks and in many other areas where a heavy duty solution is called for. Eurogrip can be applied to concrete, asphalt, steel or timber. It is a fast curing, 3 component anti-slip system that is suitable for aggregate sizes ranging from 0.5 to 3mm. Eurogrip is applied with a notched squeegee following which high friction grit/aggregate is broadcast onto the surface. Optus will advise on aggregate size, type and supplier.

G-TEX TM is our range of comingled recycled carbon fiber/ thermoplastic nonwoven mats. These mats provide an excellent balance of mechanical properties, formability and good-quality surface finish. G-TEX TM nonwoven mats are made with PP, PA, PEI and PPS fibers. The dry mats can be direct formed into parts by compression molding or used as pre-consolidated sheets. G-TEX TM nonwoven mats are used today in automotive and aerospace applications.

Our family of BEAVERLOC® adhesive treated fibers offers the hose engineer a broad spectrum of solutions for a wide variety of rubber types including EPDM, Butyl, CPE, CSM, Vamac, Acrylic, Nitrile, Neoprene and many other rubber compounds.  In addition to adhesion, benefits include more efficient processing, better packaging and a cleaner running fiber.  Our engineered adhesives are available on our full line of industrial fibers.

G-TEX M is our range of 100% recycled carbon fiber nonwoven mats. These mats provide an excellent balance of mechanical properties, formability and high-quality surface finish. G-TEX M nonwoven mats can be used with all commonly used resin systems for composites. Whilst best suited for compression molding processes in either dry or pre-impregnated forms, they are also used today in vacuum infusion (dry mats) and autoclave (pre-impregnated mats) processes. G-TEX M nonwoven mats are used today in automotive, wind energy, marine and tooling applications.

The Crestabond® range of M7 / PP (1:1) and M1 (10:1) structural adhesives are unique to the market due to the incorporation of our novel tougheners. The Crestabond® range of adhesives benefits from a range of working times to suit different applications.

LAVIOSA VISCOGEL ™ are rheological additives which in solvent-based paints provide anti-settling and anti-staining properties guaranteeing a homogeneous distribution of the pigments, a remarkable qualitative stability during the storage and application phase. The use is simple and does not require heating or special equipment.

Under the brand family GENIOSIL®, WACKER offers organofunctional silanes and innovative silane modified polymers for bonding and sealing. Their most outstanding property is the fact that they combine environmental advantages with performance benefits.

CLiQFLOW is an rheological additives for non-aqueous systems.

DOMALKYD are solventborne alkyd resins, water-reducible alkyds and alkyd dispersions.

IMSIL® microcrystalline silica fillers are produced from an inert, naturally occurring alpha quartz with a unique grape-like morphology. Finer micronized grades are useful in formulating higher gloss paints and systems requiring controlled particle top size such as Industrial OEM topcoat coats and non-conductive inks. Intermediate size grades offer ideal and uniform gloss control for topcoats, coil coats and increased inter-coat adhesion between primers and topcoats. Coarser grades offer high solids loading with low viscosity,  texture, anti-skid  and abrasion resistance in industrial floor coatings and exterior deck coatings.
