ELASTAMINE® amines are a new and unique product range of specialty amines. Thermoplastic polymers such as polyamides (nylon), polyolefins, or polyester find use in a variety of applications, ranging from fibres to films or membranes, to engineering plastics. However, several characteristics such as flexibility, hydrophilicity, low temperature properties, and surface energy can be improved through modification with ELASTAMINE® amines.

IROSTIC® polyurethane-based raw material is used to manufacture TPU adhesives. Available as a one- or two-component system, the range serves four core markets; solvent-based footwear adhesives; industrial specialty adhesives; non-reactive and reactive hot melt adhesives. IROSTIC® bonding solvent-based systems can be applied using manual brushes, rollers, and spatulas or mechanical spray and air guns. IROSTIC® non-reactive hot melt grades can also be applied as a powder or a film. Features include

• Very good heat resistance
• Good adhesion to various substrates
• Excellent green strength
• High tear and good hydrolysis resistance
• Low-temperature flexibility
• High peel strength
• Flexible one or two-component system
• Compatible with IRODUR® cross-linkers to improve the heat stability of a bond
• Soft, tough, elastic and lightweight
• Suitable for use in industrial autoclaves and smaller laminating ovens

JEFFAMINE® range offers the world’s most extensive selection of polyetheramines, many of which are unavailable elsewhere. These highly versatile products contain primary amino groups attached to the end of a polyether backbone normally based on propylene oxide (PO), ethylene oxide (EO), or a mixture of both oxides.
