tyrene block copolymers such as SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) and SIS (Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene) are susceptible to thermal and oxidative degradation. To ensure longer service life, color stability, and mechanical resistance, antioxidants are used.
For styrene block copolymers (SBS, SIS), UV protection is particularly important, as they degrade more rapidly under UV radiation. The choice of the right UV stabilizers depends on the desired long-term stability, color retention, and mechanical requirements.
WTH Walter Thieme Handel GmbH looks back on its participation in the 30th Fakuma 2026 in Friedrichshafen with an entirely positive assessment. Five days at the trade fair, numerous in-depth technical discussions and new project ideas underscore the continued demand for innovative additive solutions, collaborative partnerships and reliable supply chains.
Many thanks for visiting our booth — say Dr. Silke-Nicola Trzaska, Jutta Bösch, and Dieter Holst
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are versatile materials used in a wide range of applications. However, their properties can be specifically adjusted and improved through special additives. Three particularly important groups of additives are light stabilizers, flame retardants, and dispersing agents.
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) combine the best properties of plastics and elastomers: They are flexible, durable and easy to process. This makes them indispensable in numerous industrial applications.
Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) is an important additive for the production of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). It is used as an impact modifier and can improve the mechanical properties of the end product. Here, we will examine the properties of CPE as an impact modifier in PVC, its advantages, and limitations.
Plastics and elastomers are essential materials in various industries, such as the automotive, electrical and electronics, and packaging industries. To ensure their quality and durability, primary and secondary antioxidants are frequently added to these materials. Here, the different mechanisms of action of primary and secondary antioxidants, as well as their combinations in plastics and elastomers, are explained.
Summer is vacation season – and with it begins the time of vacation coverage at WTH GmbH in Stade. While some colleagues are enjoying the sun, the beach, or the mountains, the remaining teams ensure that day-to-day operations continue to run smoothly and reliably.
Julia Król, Tomasz Wojtas und Dr. Silke-Nicola Trzaska thank you very much for visiting our booth.
