Technology & Products
Key Products
LOXIOL® lubricants; EDENOL® plasticizers; Antistatic agents; Antifogging agents; Release agents; Viscosity depressants; EGDS (ethylene glycol distearate); Specialty binder systems for metal/ceramic FFF
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Enables metal/ceramic 3D printing via low-cost FFF instead of expensive metal AM systems; VERIFIED: VoxelMatters directory listing confirms AM materials focus; DEFENSIBLE: Proprietary formulations and decades of polymer chemistry expertise
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides sustainable, high-performance binder technology that makes metal and ceramic 3D printing accessible through FFF process, reducing entry barriers with lower investment costs and simplified know-how requirements compared to traditional metal AM methods
How They Differentiate
Focuses specifically on natural-based, sustainable polymer additives from palm oil derivatives vs. petroleum-based competitors; Unique application in metal/ceramic 3D printing binders while competitors primarily serve traditional plastics; Proprietary formulations for high powder loading (>80%) in FFF feedstocks
