Additives

Adhesion Promoters

A substance which is applied to a substrate to improve the adhesion of an adhesive or sealant to the substrate.more

Coloring

Pigment Black mainly (ca. 70-99 percent) consist of carbon. The main diffentiating criteria for pigment blacks are a) primary particle size, b) surface c) structure and d) functional surface group.more

Electrical Conductivity

Conductive carbon blacks are carbon blacks with a surface area, which is far higher than that of conventional carbon blacks.more

Mechanical Properties

Reinforcing agents are for example active fillers like fumed silica, precipitated silica and carbon black which improve the mechanical properties like tensile strength and tear resistance of adhesive & sealants.more

Rheology Modifiers

The science that studies the relation between flow of materials and applied forces is called rheology. As the example of dough shows, this relation is far from simple.more

Stabilizers

Heat Stabilizers are additives used for improving the resistance of a polymer to heat-induced changes in its properties.more

Waxes

Wax is a collective designation for a multitude of natural and synthetic materials which play an important part primarily as additives in a very wide variety of applications.more

Ketone-Aldehydes / Special Polyesters

TEGO^® VariPlus or TEGO^®AddBond products are used in EVA, polyester or polyurethane based hotmelt adhesives.more
