Aerafin™, Regalflex™

Synthomer’s APO technologies offer versatile, propylene-based polymers engineered for superior performance in a wide range of tackifiers and elastomers.

• Aerafin™ polymers are next-generation polyolefins known for their excellent thermal stability, low odor, low VOC, and broad compatibility with hydrocarbon tackifiers. They enable low-temperature sprayability and high peel strength, making them ideal for hygiene, packaging, and automotive applications.
• Regalflex™ APOs are soft, tacky, and flexible polymers offering consistent quality, UV stability, and moisture resistance. These resins are compatible with a wide range of elastomers and tackifiers, supporting applications in tapes, labels, construction, and automotive adhesives.

Together, Aerafin™ and Regalflex™ provide formulators with a robust toolkit for designing adhesives that meet stringent performance and sustainability standards.

Kristalex™, Endex™, Plastolyn™, Piccolastic™, Piccotex™

Synthomer’s Pure Monomer Resin (PMR) portfolio features water-white, aromatic hydrocarbon resins derived from purified monomers. These resins are known for their clarity, color stability, and compatibility with a wide range of polymers including EVA, SBS, SIS, SEBS, and acrylics.

• Kristalex™ resins are low molecular weight, non-polar thermoplastic polymers offering excellent thermal stability and impact modification. Ideal for sealants, caulks, and specialty tapes.
• Endex™ resins provide high clarity and are well-suited for applications requiring superior color stability and compatibility with styrenic block copolymers.
• Plastolyn™ resins, such as Plastolyn™ 290, deliver high softening points and UV resistance, making them suitable for demanding applications.
• Piccolastic™ resins are derived from pure styrene monomer and offer toughness, resiliency, and non-migrating properties.
• Piccotex™ resins combine styrene and vinyl to provide excellent adhesion and compatibility in pressure-sensitive adhesives.

These PMRs are widely used in compounding, hot melt adhesives, coatings, sealants, and packaging applications where clarity, performance, and stability are critical.

Synthomer’s Tacolyn™ line of resin dispersions offers high-performance tackifiers designed to enhance adhesion, peel strength, and overall performance in waterborne adhesive systems. These resins are solvent-free, APE-free, and engineered for compatibility with a wide range of polymer emulsions including acrylics, SBR, and natural rubber latexes. Widely used in pressure sensitive and packaging adhesives.

• Tacolyn™ resins are trusted across industries for their ability to deliver consistent performance, environmental compliance, and formulation flexibility in demanding adhesive applications.
