Adhesives

One of the most prominent features of adhesives based on ARLANXEO's wide-ranging elastomer brands is the high initial strength that is established instantly with joining. Our solutions are renowned for their cost-effective and excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials. ARLANXEO's portfolio of adhesive raw materials and modifiers provides effective methods across many sectors to achieve optimal bonding for parts at varying curing or crystallization rates.

AUTOMOTIVE

Whether it’s under the hood, in the dashboard, or in the tires, synthetic rubber gets vehicles going. The butyl rubber X_Butyl®, the butadiene and styrene-butadiene rubbers Buna® optimize tire sidewalls, treads, and inner liners. The EPDM rubber Keltan® seals windows and doors. And hoses and lines with Levapren® EVM rubber and Therban® HNBR rubber in the sheathing withstand heat and oil.

Building & Construction

From the floor to the roof, architects and design engineers rely on synthetic rubber: Taktene® Latex is found in asphalt and carpet backing, X_Butyl® in hoses and adhesives, Levapren® in cable sheathing, Krynac® in flooring an thermo insulation, Keltan® in door and window seals, Buna® in pond liners, Therban® and Baypren® in all sort of adhesive systems. The possible applications are as versatile as our rubber.

Consumer Goods

Synthetic rubber also delivers top performance in everyday life – whether for sports and leisure, kitchen or garden work, DIY or sleeping. Rubber is used to bond mattresses and furniture, to make garden hoses and refrigerator covers, and to sole running shoes. ARLANXEO’s synthetic rubbers are even used in soccer – and not only during the World Cup.

Energy, Oil & Gas

ARLANXEO's Therban® hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) plays a vital role in many oil and gas applications. Our range or Therban® grades offer unparalleled solutions to meet the industry's demanding applications. Therban's high levels of ACN result amongst others in excellent oil and media resistance. Some of these applications are blowout preventers, packer seals, and drill pipe protectors.

Industrial Goods

Hidden all-rounders – technical rubber products are inconspicuous but very effective. Be they in a special cable high up in a windmill or deep down in a submarine. Or as a seal in pumps and oil pans or in conveyor belts for coal, letters, or luggage. Or as drive belts in printing machines, sawmills, and motors or as dampers for ship couplings and rail vehicles.

Oil Additives

Polymers are used as oil additives to optimize the temperature-resistance and overall performance of base oils in automotive and industrial combustion engines. Acting as a viscosity index improver \(VII\), ARLANXEO's Keltan® oil additive grades provide solutions for lubricant manufacturers in a wide array of sectors and applications like automotive, heavy-duty diesel, industry oils, as well as maritime.

PHARMA

Pharmaceutical rubber products often come into direct contact with drugs. They must therefore meet the highest standards. The rules are strict, especially for liquid medicinal products. Halobutyl rubber X_Butyl® from ARLANXEO reliably protects sterile pharmaceutical products from light, temperature fluctuations, and moisture. During use and also during prolonged storage.

Plastics Modification

From the high impact polystyrene material used to our household appliances and electronics to the catalyzed butadiene rubbers improving the performance and sustainability of our tires, specialty synthetic rubbers are improving our lives on a daily basis. ARLANXEO’s Buna® brand grades are leaders in the automotive industry but also improve non-tire goods such as footwear, golf balls, and conveyor belts.

Tires

There's much more than meets the eye with car tires. Several grades of high-performance synthetic rubbers, addressing the specific functions and properties of numerous tire components, come together with technology to make your driving experience safer and more sustainable. Whether it's an air-blocking grade for inner liners or flex-cracking-resistant compounds for the asphalt-touching treads, innovation matters.

Wire & Cable

No building, ship, or mass transit vehicle could operate without a labyrinthine network of cables and wires — which must be protected by equally complex protective synthetic rubber compounds. Flame-resistance is of the utmost importance to ensure the safety of everyone. ARLANXEO's rubber grades providing insulation and sheathing material of optimal heat resistance and flame-retardant properties.
