FR EN MENU Sector Specialty Chemicals The specialty chemicals market covers activities in which the use of specially adapted additives can add value to our clients’ products. Our expertise is based on our own cross-fertilisation strategy: our Application Laboratories follow the technical specifications and use or adapt additives from our various different sectors, from paper and textiles to paints. This approach allows us to offer new, stand-out solutions to our partners and clients. Product List Speciality Chemicals New products CHARTWELL® The CHARTWELL® product range enhances a formulation’s adherence to supports. This is particularly useful for abrasive, adhesive and composites applications. CHARTWELL® products can be incorporated into aqueous or solventborne formulations. SYNTHRO®-STAB TF PROTEX INTERNATIONAL, via the SYNTHRON-PRODEV subsidiary, is renowned for its work in formaldehyde and acetaldehyde scavenger solutions. The SYNTHRO®-STAB TF range helps to reduce the content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in polyurethane foams – in particular for the automobile industry. Applications PROTEX INTERNATIONAL is a major player in the specialist chemical market. We develop, manufacture and market innovative additives, in particular for the following applications: Abrasives Adhesives Ceramics Composites Detergency Lubricants and metal treatment. Polyurethane foams OUR FUNCTIONALITIES Adhesion promoter Additives which improve the adherence of a formulation (adhesives, paints, etc.) on a substrate Catalyst Additives which accelerate the chemical reaction of 2 components, improving system performance and reducing drying time Corrosion inhibitor Additives which help to prevent corrosion Defoamer and air release Additives which prevent or destroy any foaming which can appear during the manufacture or application of a product. Dispersing Additives which help disperse and stabilize pigments in paints or solid particles in a liquid formulation during the manufacturing process. They can also be used to disperse fertlizers in watr-based formulations. Fire retardant Additives which enhance fire resistance Fixing Additives which help fix a dye to the surface of a textile Levelling Additives which help improve the surface aspect of a paint or any other liquid formulation Odour masking agent An additive which helps mask or eliminate bad smells Resin A polymer which provides the desired mechanical properties to a formulation. Rheology Additives which help control the rheology of a formulation. Sequestrant Additives which react with free Ca/Mg ions and metallic ions and prevent them from negatively impacting product performance, appearance or stability. Stabiliser, Buffer Additives which help stabilise a formulation or pH VOC scavenger Additives which absorb or prevent the release of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) such as formaldehydes and acetaldehydes. Water-repellent Additives which help make a substance water-repellent, creating a protective film. Wetting Additives which, by modifying the surface tension of a formulation, improve the wetting effect of pigments, loads or even substrates Standards Standards and certifications Some of our products are Ecocert® certified, which is a keystone for the detergency market. This requires the use of bio-sourced and easily bio-degradable products, depending on the specific processes.
