VESTENAMER®
Transpolyoctenamer used as valuable processing aid and polymer modifier for softer rubber seals and stoppers in vial cap applications and production of complex rubber parts for medical applications.
Rubber products for medical applications
VESTENAMER® is a high performance component for rubber formulations. It is a reactive plastiziser and compatibilizer for elastomers of different polarity. It improves the melt flow reducing cycle times in injection or compression molding and also improves the mechanical properties of the final part, including excellent surface quality of complex parts. In many cases, the special capabilities of VESTENAMER® make it possible to successfully combine materials that are typically incompatible.
