Products & services
Give Your Products the Wow Factor: Discover the Power of Our WTH-Brighteners!
Optical brighteners are utilized across various industries such as paper, detergent, and textile, to enhance color brilliance and refine product appearance. Imagine a red that loses its vibrancy after just a few days – a situation easily remedied with optical brighteners! These compounds not only impart gloss to colors but also intensify the white in paints and coatings, safeguard against yellowing, and effectively manage adhesives. They are chemical compounds introduced into materials to achieve brightening effects.
Prevention Over Repair: The Crucial Role of WTH Antioxidants!
Antioxidants protect polymers against radical degradation reactions triggered by various factors such as heat or mechanical stresses. Without their use, this can lead to functional loss in end products. Highly effective primary antioxidants, based on sterically hindered phenols or organic phosphite compounds, are essential for safeguarding against thermo-oxidative degradation. They serve both as processing aids and long-term stabilizers. Combining them with co-stabilizers optimizes polymer protection.
The Invisible Heroes: Light Stabilizers and UV Absorbers!
Diverse light stabilizers and UV absorbers, ranging from Benzophenone and Benzotriazole to polymer/monomer HALS types, serve as the backbone for plastic and rubber protection. Additives like WTH-LS (light protection agents) and WTH-AN (antioxidants) form the foundation of polymer processing. Light stabilizers and UV absorbers shield plastics from light-induced damage, preventing subsequent harm. With their high absorption capabilities, UV absorbers safeguard polymers from harmful UV radiation, while light protection agents offer low volatility, ensuring sustained protection.
Applications of Plant-Based Primary Amide Waxes in Industry and Production
Primary amide waxes offer a wide range of applications in various industries, from plastics production to the rubber industry. As a slip additive, they optimize the processing behavior of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), improve the transparency of polyolefin films and increase the flow properties. In rubber production, they act as release agents and reduce the sulfurization process, while in the printing industry they are used as an aid for even color distribution. Their plant-based basis and production in state-of-the-art facilities also underline their sustainable profile.
Safety and Sustainability: The Path of Modern Flame Retardants
Flame retardants are essential to protecting materials from fire and heat. Used in products from textiles to electronics, these chemicals are constantly evolving, driven by stricter safety standards and growing environmental awareness. The future of these substances lies in the development of eco-friendly formulas that offer safety without compromise while being kind to the environment. Modern flame retardants, free of toxic ingredients, not only effectively prevent fires but also contribute to environmental protection and minimize health risks.
