Highquality polymer additives.

EXPERTISE of 

a STRoNG PaRTNER 

LANXESS has the experience and sound market knowledge 

of an established global player combined with the 

commitment of a new, young enterprise. This is a combination 

that makes LANXESS strong and active. We are ready 

to break new ground, when and wherever our customers 

ask us to go. 

Developements in the plastics sector today often involve 

the meaningful modification of known polymers. This often 

leads to specific properties which are precisely matched to 

the later use of the semifinished or finished product. 

BlowING aGENTS 

Chemical blowing agents are organic or inorganic additives 

used in the manufacture of polymeric foams. The outstanding 

features of polymeric foams are weight reduction, the 

lower amount of polymer which has to be used, resulting 

in a more economical use of energy and lower cost, and 

improved sound and heat insulation. 

LANXESS‘s broad and versatile range of polymer additives 

comprising blowing agents, bonding agents, plasticizers 

and sodium alkane sulfonates makes it possible for you to 

develop unique products. 

Our polymer additives combined with our expertise and 

technical support provide a basis for your innovations and 

product optimizations. 

BoNdING aGENTS 

Bonding Agents are reactive systems that improve the 

adhesion and bond strength of flexible PVC coatings on 

polyester and polyamide fabrics. Typical fields of application 

for our bonding agents are the production of truck 

tarpaulins, materials for textile structures such as airdomes 

and tent roofs, billboards, conveyor belts, high performance 

foils and protective clothing.

PlaSTIcIzERS 

Whenever plastics need to have high elasticity and flexibility, 

plasticizers provide the answer. But this is not their only 

benefit. They also optimize, for example, the processing 

properties of polymer materials, which leads to improved 

product quality or even new properties. The choice of 

plasticizers depends on the demand placed on the finished 

product. These can include greater softness, elasticity, flame 

retardant properties or resistance to chemicals, weathering 

and migration. 

ModIfIERS 

Modifiers are polymeric additives incorporated into plastics 

– frequently PVC – to improve its processability and to obtain 

additional valuable product properties such as heat resistance, 

impact strength, abrasion resistance, solvent resistance, 

fuel resistance and more. 

SodIuM alkaNE SulfoNaTES

Sodium alkane sulfonates are surfaceactive additives, which 

are used for emulsion polymerisations, and as raw materials 

for textile processing chemicals, leather auxiliaries, detergents 

and cleaning products.

Reactive bonding agents which improve the 

adhesion of PVC plastisol coatings to substrates 

made of polyester or polyamide fibres. The 

choice of the bonding agent system depends 

above all on the demands made on the finished 

product, the conditions in which the base coat 

plastisol is formulated, the type of the coating 

equipment used and the residence time in the 

gelling tunnel. Typical fields of application include 

tarpaulins for lorries, awnings, air inflated structures 

and other textile constructions.
