Next-Gen Synthetic Esters: EsterTec®
EsterTec® sets a new standard in synthetic lubricant performance, based on an innovative structure achieved via a unique production process. These esters, crafted from standard, globally accessible raw materials, ensure both high stability and cost-effectiveness.
The vicinal ester molecular positioning of EsterTec enhances oxidative stability through steric hindrance, while secondary alcohols on adjacent carbons significantly boost hydrolytic stability. Experience unmatched performance and reliability by formulating with EsterTec VSP esters – your next step in advanced synthetic technology.
BIOTRAN products (Personal Care)
The new BIOTRAN products are waterborne, film-forming polymers derived from natural sources, with a Natural Origin Content of more than 80 %. This technology provides outstanding film characteristics such as wear and transfer resistance in pigmented color cosmetic formulations while also delivering the high bio-based content our customers expect.
These innovations meet the growing market interest in the cosmetic industry by incorporating renewable resources and, in the case of BIOTRAN SMARTWAX, biodegradability.
These new solutions were developed by combining our synthetic expertise, excellent application knowledge and deep understanding of customer needs.
S-RANGE (Leather Auxiliaries)
Sustainable chemistry is a scientific concept that seeks to improve the efficiency with which natural resources are used to meet human needs for chemical products and services. Our S-range is designed to address the needs of customers specifically looking for sustainable leather-making solutions.
SUSTAINABLE FIXING AGENTS FOR POLYAMIDE: ECOLUTION IN ACTION
Research meets responsibility: phenol- and formaldehyde-free fixing agents from renewable sources
With ECOLUTION, we introduce a new class of fixing agents for polyamide textiles that combine strong performance with responsible formulation. Free from phenol and formaldehyde and based on renewable raw materials, they ensure excellent wash and rub fastness.
The products integrate seamlessly into existing processes and support compliance with international standards such as bluesign®. By reducing reliance on critical substances, they contribute to a lower environmental impact and a safer working environment.
