Multitude of different application fields for polymers

Our polymers are designed for a multitude of different application fields in the following industries:

Watersoluble and cationic polymers

Sokalan® types
Sokalan® types are watersoluble polymers based on the monomers acrylic acid, maleic acid, vinyl pyrrolidon, vinyl imidazole and hydrophobic olefins. The product group is predominantly used in detergents and cleaners, but also in many technical applications. Lupasol® types are cationic polymers with excellent adhesive properties.

Lupasol® types
Lupasol® types are multi-functional, non-toxic cationic polymers based on ethylene imine with molecular weights from 800 to 2 mio. Da. Due to their strong and permanent binding to surfaces, they are exceptional adhesives. They can be used in a variety of applications such as laques, coatings, paint and glue systems, as primers for polymer compounds in film formation, and for surface modification in dyeing of plastics. With Lupasol® WF, FG, G20 wasserfrei and PR8515, BTC offers water-free products, the other types being aqeous solutions. Lupasol® SC-61 B is a modified polyethylene imine with reduced charge density.

Sokalan® PA types
The Sokalan® PA types are water-soluble homopolymers of acrylic acid. They are very effective dispersing agents. The Sokalan® PA types have been found to perform very well in phosphate-free laundry detergents. Their pronounced dispersing effect prevents deposits from being formed on fabrics and also boosts detergency. The Sokalan® PA types can also be used in dishwasher detergents, technical cleaners and in water treatment applications by working as scale inhibitor and dispersing agent for sparingly soluble salts. Sokalan® PA types can be used to treat the full range of scaling problems encountered in the sugar industry.

Sokalan® PM types
Sokalan® PM 10 I and Sokalan® PM 15 I enable the smooth distillative production of drinking water from sea water.
