Transparent gaiter for buses made of Levapren: Owing to its high vinyl acetate content, the base polymer has outstanding weather and ozone resistance and lightfastness. It can be processed easily even without plasticizers and is also highly flame retardant.
Able to cope with extreme loads: Toothed belts made of specialty HNBR rubber are on the verge of replacing chains in motorcycles as the usual form of secondary drive.
LANXESS offers its customers in the tire industry and manufacturers of technical rubber goods a wide range of high-quality products with outstanding processing properties. The production of vehicle tires is the most important application for LANXESS rubber chemicals.
High tech plastics made in North Rhine-Westfalia: The PBT, polyamid 6 und 66 grades from LANXESS make an economic production of components with complex geometries possible. E.g. it would cause extra expenses to manufacture such stators and rotors of vacuum cleaner blower motors in diecast metal. Instead of that such parts can be made of Pocan T 7391, saving a great deal of reworking.
The LANXESS Technical Service Center at the Dormagen site has injection molding machines equipped with auxiliary units for WIT and GIT. Materials and processes can be optimized on these units using development partners’ standard molds.
The new Aquaderm X-Shield system from LANXESS protects white or light-colored leather surfaces from substances such as mustard, coffee, ketchup, marker pen inks and even engine oil. It also makes cleaning with leather-care products considerably simpler.
LANXESS is extending its range of highly elastic neodymium-polybutadiene (Nd-BR) rubbers with a grade of particularly high viscosity – Buna CB 21. This product is highly appropriate to cut the rolling resistance of car tires.
As a component of hydraulic spring systems in top-ofthe-range cars, hose made from LANXESS's Therban HNBR rubber ensures top driving comfort combined with sporty driving characteristics.
