Evonik expanded its capacity for silane-modified poly-alpha-olefins with the completion of the plant expansion at the Marl Chemical Park in Marl, Germany. The company is now able to produce 30 percent more of this specialty adhesive raw material.
Ideal for Formulating High-quality HMA
These silane-modified specialties are amorphous poly-alpha- olefins, which are marketed under the brand name
VESTOPLAST® 206. They are ideal for formulating high-quality hot melt adhesives, which are especially suited for the bonding of hard-to-bond polar substrates such as glass, ceramics and metals. Silane-modified poly-alpha-olefins are best characterized by their excellent adhesion to a wide range of plastics, such as polypropylene, polyester and polyamide.
"
With the expansion of our capacity, we are following the increasing demand for reactive polyolefin systems and ensuring greater delivery reliability," said Roberto Vila-Keller, head of the coating & adhesive resins business line. "
Due to its special chemical properties, VESTOPLAST® 206 is mainly used in lightweight construction or the construction industry and thus, contributes to sustainable solutions."
