Sustainable additives from Europe

For over five decades, Nordmann partner Condensia Química has been synonymous with pioneering innovations in the development and manufacture of esters and polyesters. As a renowned market player, the company offers sustainable additive solutions for a wide range of applications, including PVC, rubber, lubricants, polyurethanes, adhesives, coatings, personal care products, and PLA-based materials.

All production takes place in Europe, at the company's state-of-the-art facility in Barcelona, Spain. Almost all of the raw materials used are sourced in Europe, which not only guarantees the highest quality standards but also shortens supply chains and improves the company's environmental footprint. To meet growing demand and further increase supply security, Condensia Química will expand its production capacity to 12,000 tons per year by 2025.

From antioxidants to ozone-protective waxes – everything from a single source

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.
