Chardon, OH – October 27, 2010 – Rhein Chemie Corporation, a subsidiary of LANXESS Corporation, is proud to introduce Rhenofluor® FKM Curative Technology at the 2010 K Show in Dusseldorf Germany. The Rhenofluor® Curative product line encompasses a complete line of Fluoroelastomer (FKM) cross-linking agents for high-quality, high-performance applications. Rhenofluor® Curative Technology allows end users to achieve homogenous dispersion characteristics coupled with reproducible compounding/curing results on a batch-to-batch basis.
The dispersion’s proprietary organo-phosphonium compound offers a revolutionary “sulfur safe” technology, providing added protection against sulfur contamination.
