With one of the most extensive Polymer Additives lines serving the polymer industry, Crompton enables producers, compounders, extruders, and molders to meet the growing demand for better and more environmentally friendly products.
Our products are key to the development of new materials such as engineered plastics and nanocomposites that bring lighter, stronger, safer, and more economical materials to construction, transportation and other global markets. Royaltuf® modified EPDM toughens engineered thermoplastics. Polybond® coupling agents are critical to the production of advanced composites. Production of these materials represents the fastest-growing segments of the specialty chemicals industry.
We are the world's largest producer of value-added polymer chemicals for polyvinyl chloride, with a complete line of metal and metal-free vinyl heat stabilizers. Our lubricants, plasticizers and other products solve PVC manufacturing challenges and improve the characteristics of PVC products. Our new line of organic-based stabilizers is leading the industry in providing PVC makers with an innovative solution to mounting environmental challenges.
Our products for the olefins and styrenics markets are used in every stage of the manufacturing process from monomer stabilization to polymerization to compounding to fabrication. New grades of Naugard® inhibitors, polymer modifiers and antioxidants are helping speed the expansion of plastics into developing global markets. Polybond® coupling agents with enhanced performance characteristics make possible new materials in advanced markets such as wire and cable insulation and wood-filled compounds.
We have been a world leader in rubber chemicals for over a century and have a comprehensive line of more than 100 different products used in rubber processing. Our Flexzone® antiozonants and Naugard® antioxidants extend the life of rubber products from tires to wire and cable by providing protection from ozone, oxygen, heat and light.
Global polyurethane processors depend on our urethane chemicals, including polyester polyols and dispersions, to manufacture solid, liquid and foam materials. Our Fomrez® polyester polyols are critical in flexible foams; Witcobond® water-based dispersions provide hard, clear coatings for woods, plastics, leather, and rubber; and Witcothane® microcellular systems provide increased wear and light weight to footwear and industrial applications.
