Product Spotlight
ChemSpec chose to highlight Synthomer’s LitheneActiV 1000 product as it was designed specifically for modification of both peroxide and sulfur cured elastomers. Recent independent testing of these products in elastomer compounds, showed the benefits of the Lithene® range in general and LitheneActiV 1000 in particular:
The LitheneActiV 1000 product is non- hazardous, environmentally safe and reduces leaching versus basic process oils.
