Rubber

Anti-aging agents are a key component for the performance and service life of modern elastomer materials. In use, elastomers are constantly exposed to stresses caused by oxygen, heat, ozone, UV radiation, and mechanical stress. Without proper stabilization, these factors lead to embrittlement, cracking, loss of mechanical properties, or visual changes. Nordmann’s portfolio of anti-aging agents is designed to specifically address these aging mechanisms and reliably protect materials throughout their entire service life—whether they are dynamically highly stressed black compounds or color-stable, light-colored applications.

The regulatory landscape for PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is in flux. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is currently in the decisive second consultation phase. For Nordmann and its long-standing partner DAIKIN Chemical Europe, one thing is clear: now is the moment for the industry to set the course for the future based on facts.
