Published Sep 10, 2014

Danbury, Conn. (September 10, 2014) –Addivant™, a global leader in polymer additive technologies, today announced that it will resume production of its TRIMENE BASE® curing agent on an annual make-to-order (MTO) basis, to satisfy customer demand for this distinctive product. Addivant’s TRIMENE BASE® curing agent is a high-temperature rubber accelerator with a medium to long vulcanization rate in solid rubber. TRIMENE BASE® also stabilizes latex foams used in personal care products by causing gelling to occur at a higher pH, which prevents compounds from sagging in the early stages of air curing. TRIMENE BASE® is unique in that it can address specific functional needs in both solid and foam rubber applications for both natural and synthetic rubber compounds. This announcement demonstrates Addivant’s commitment to listen to customers, and provide them with the highperformance solutions they need to strengthen their competitive positions and grow their businesses.
