Applications
Latex Dipping
Evonik offers an extensive portfolio of solutions for improving the performance of latex dipping processes.
Our unique process additives for latex dipping support both salt coagulation and thermo-coagulation. Our customers in the latex dipping market benefit from our broad product portfolio, specialty designed formulations and application expertise and network of global services.
As the process chart shows latex dipping can be distinguished by salt-coagulation and heat-sensitive processes. We offer an aligned product portfolio for both steps that address different application needs and challenges.
Our solutions for latex dipping processes
- Wetting agents: Our wetting agents can help tackle poor wetting of coagulant onto the former, which can be a typical issue at finger joints.
- Defoamers and dewebbing aids: If you are dealing with so called foam lamella and foam in your latex tank our defoamers and dewebbing aids support.
- Dispersants: Our dispersants are designed to help with poor compound stability and viscosity issues.
- Coagulants: Our coagulants are useful to adjust low coagulation efficiency which is especially useful for medical and textile gloves.
