Additives & Chemistry

This group is working on the following topics:

    • Development of halogen free flame retardants for application in bulk polymers, textile fibers and coatings.


    • Development of special functional coatings for
      (a) protection against corrosion
      (b) electrical insulation ,
      (c) hydrophobicity
      (d) antimicrobial action
      (e) heating surface
      (f) protection against odor.

 

    • Application and development of high-standard chemical and instrumental analytics for our research activities and for solution services for external partners.
