NYCHEM® specialty nitrile latexes impart performance characteristics like flexibility, chemical and abrasion resistance, toughness, temperature tolerance into such niche applications as gaskets, paper coatings, textile coatings, adhesives, coal tar/asphalt sealants, masking tape, and abrasion paper.

REN® branded materials such as RENLAM®, RENGEL®, RENINFUSION® and RENPIM® encompass a wide range of composites and tooling products that enhance the performance of epoxy resins in industrial and manufacturing applications, ensuring optimal strength, durability, and resistance. They are most often used in high-performance environments and are easy to mix and apply.

RUBITRIM® formulated polyurethane systems are developed to deliver a soft touch and luxurious feel in transportation-related TRIM applications. RUBITRIM® systems can provide customers with benefits including: fast cure; good properties that meet a range of OEM specification requirements; low emissions; compatibility with PVC skins; excellent part-to-part reproducibility. RUBITRIM® systems may be used in trim applications including: semi-rigid backfoam for instrument and door panels; water-blown integral skin for steering wheels and armrests; rigid foams for crash pads and other protective applications; various elastomeric foams for flexible air filters, gaskets and seals; and rigid elastomers for molded body panels. RUBITRIM® systems offer robust processing windows for manufacturing methods such as open- and closed-pour (injection), high-pressure and cold-cure molding. Substrates that may be used with RUBITRIM® polyurethane systems include PVC, EPP, PUR and barrier-backed leather.

The SHOKLESS™ family of formulated polyurethane systems is developed to provide lightweight, thermal, structural and vibration protection in transport-related applications. SHOKLESS™ products are developed for use in the potting and fixation of cells or packs mounted in electric vehicle batteries and for NVH applications targeting vibration dampening devices and components. The SHOKLESS™ range includes a broad spectrum of density options for tunable performance. All products have very good physical and mechanical properties and can offer excellent compression and tensile stress performance across a wide temperature range. Other features and benefits typically include low viscosity for efficient application, broad processing windows for flexible handling, and fast cure at low temperatures. SHOKLESS™ systems are generally compatible with a range of different manufacturing methods such as open- and closed-pour (injection) and cold-cure molding.

VERSAMID® polyamide resins have proven to be superior curing agents in many applications, such as industrial maintenance and marine coatings, high-performance architectural paints, high-solids, and conventional coatings.
