Main applications

Featured applications

We are the inventor of Continuous Initiator Dosing (CiD). This innovative concept increases the reactor output when manufacturing suspension PVC (S-PVC), while making the process safer. The end product is more consistent and of higher quality.

Increasing your PVC production

Our CiD technology allows PVC producers to increase reactor output by up to 40%

Our organic peroxides are extensively used in polymer modification for example to make controlled rheology polypropylene (CR-PP), high melt strength polypropylene (HMS-PP), high melt strength polylactic acid (HMS-PLA) and maleic anhydride grafted polymers such as MA-g-PP and MA-g-PE.
