Liquiment® is a range of dispersants to make water-reduced cement slurries possible and improve long-range pumping by improving slurry rheology. Time critical cementing jobs even under high temperatures become possible using synergies in combining BTC’s dispersants with retarders. It is a green dispersant and standard for oil well cementing.

Irgastat® products can be applied via direct dosing or pre-compounding and they offer a permanent and immediate effect. They have good performance even at low humidity, a low migration tendency, and low volatility, and are colorless. They are in a dust-free granular form for easy handling. Irgastat® is recommended, where a permanent antistatic effect is sought after which is in applications such as electronic and industrial packaging, housings, and parts of business machines. Irgastat® is used in thermoplastic polymers, transparent films, and fiber or molded applications. Its applications include profiles, sheets, and foamed sheets as well as pipes & fittings, tubes and hoses, sidings, and claddings.

Irgalube® line of antiwear additives is especially developed for formulating antiwearcompressor and hydraulic fluids, gear oils and greases. Irgalube® provides longterm lubricant stability together with excellent antiwear and corrosion prevention whileprotecting industrial and mobile equipment operating at high pressure and temperature. Irgalube® products are hydrolytically stable and provide excellent compatibility with system contaminants such as water, calcium and zinc.

Tinosorb® types from BTC are used as UVA + UVB filters in all kinds of sun care products. Its range includes products that serve as a basis for UV-protective day creams and high-SPF sunscreens.

Uvinul® light stabilizers show best performances regarding their thermal stability, substrate compatibility, volatility, absorption range, or regulatory classification as needed. They are applied depending on the polymer in use as well as on the required end use article performance. Uvinul® types from BTC are also used as UVA + UVB filters in all kind of sun care products. They also provide effective protection against UV absorption for inks and printing.

Luvipur® grades are organic acids with a typical pungent odor. These formic acids (weak acids) are available in several concentration grades (75%, 85%, and 99%). They are completely miscible with water and various solvents like ether, acetone, ethyl acetate, glycerol, methanol, and ethanol but are only partially soluble in benzene, toluene, and xylenes. Its main use is in home care, industrial & institutional cleaning formulations. It can be used as a neutralizer and acidifier. It dissolves and removes calcium-based scales in industrial cleaning processes and ideally, it can combine with Lutropur® MSA.

Luwax® range comprises polyethylene waxes, ethylene copolymer waxes, and oxidized polyethylene waxes that help in maximizing the efficiency of pigment use. Depending on the specification for the final product, waxes can increase color strength, lower the quantity of pigment required, or reduce the shear force needed. They also act as lubricants during the molding or extrusion of final goods and are used during the production of pigment masterbatches and compounds as well as for the processing of PVC and polyolefins.

Basonat® polyisocyanates are crosslinkers for two-component Polyurethane coatings for the automotive and industrial coatings industry. Basonat® harderners have an influence on the curing time of the systems.

Basolon® belongs to BTC's oilfield chemicals range that enhance and support the oil and gas production. It works as a H2S scavenger.

Kauramin impregnating resins are condensates of urea and formaldehyde and are used for the coating of laminate. They are characterized by their particular visual appearance as well as by excellent adhesiveness and high scratch resistance.

Arlypon® is a range of high-performance thickening agents. They are non-ionic surfactants for rinse off applications in cosmetic formulations like shampoos, body wash, facial wash and more.

Alamine® products are used as salification agents of pH regulators for agrochemical applications. Other applications of Alamine® include use as extraction reagents for recovery of rare earth metals, molybdenum, vanadium, and uranium.

Luvimer® grades are acrylate-based polymers that show low viscosity and are water compatible. These grades are styling polymers created especially for producing 55% VOC formulations. They provide long-lasting hold and outstanding curl retention in combination with excellent sprayability and can be used for volumizing, styling, or finishing sprays. Luvimer® polymers from BTC are used in aerosol mousses, pump mousses, hair styling products, conditioners, shampoos, hair-setting products, hair rinses, perms, bleaches, and colorants.

Lupragen® types are curing agents (hardeners and accelerators) for thermoset composites. They are used as hardeners in the formulation of polyurethane composites. Depending on the requirements, BTC’s curing agents allow long work-life (1 - 2 days), fast cure at elevated temperatures (100 - 180°C), excellent high-temperature properties, chemical resistance and good adhesion on metals.

Neutrol® grades comprise biodegradable complexing agents for all kinds of cosmetic applications or neutralizers that are used to set the right pH in cosmetic preparations. They can be used in various personal care applications such as shower gels, liquid soaps, shampoos, styling products, skin creams, and toothpaste.

Irgafos® is used as an antioxidant for automotive & industrial coatings. Phosphite (secondary AO) decompose peroxides formed during the autooxidation process to extend the performance of primary AO.

Luviquat® grades cover a wide spectrum of applications, which enables the formulator to select exactly the right product for the needed requirements. Luvigel® polymers from BTC are used in aerosol mousses, pump mousses, hair styling products, conditioners, shampoos, hair-setting products, hair rinses, perms, bleaches, colorants, body cleansing and wash products, hair styling formulations, creams, lotions, gels, and more.

Tinogard® product range comprises antioxidants, UV-light stabilizers and Excited State Quencher™ technology for light stabilization. Tinogard® act as UV absorbers and antioxidants act against the degradation of colorants, the degradation of parfumes or other ingredients which are sensitive against auto-oxidation like fatty acids or oils, besides others. Excited State Quencher™ (ESQ®) technology is often combined with UV light stabilizers to improve performance by synergistic effects. Our Tinogard® products are used for air care products, hard surface cleaners, manual dishwashing liquids, besides others. Tinogard® types are used as antioxidants in various applications. They are used in personal care formulations which are exposed to UV radiation.

Edeta ® B types sequester undesired metal ions in cosmetic preparations, they prevent the precipitation of the salts responsible for water hardness and they protect against rancidity and color changes caused by heavy metal ions. Edeta® B chelating agents from BTC are used in all kind of cosmetic formulations.
