Based on the current discussion about azodicarbonamide (ADCA) and new regulations aiming to improve indoor air quality, various markets face significant demand for new kickers to ensure that the level of ADCA in the final product does not exceed the limit of 0.1 percent.
With its new range of LOW-VOC kickers, Baerlocher supports the industry to meet the requirements set by REACH and ISO 16000 and thus to conform to national regulations such as the AgBB in Germany, the French „Émissions dans l'air intérieur“, and more.
In addition, the new kickers help to control fogging effects in the final product, enabling manufacturers to significantly increase product quality.
“It runs like a thread through the history of Baerlocher – we enable our customers to quickly adapt their business to changing market demands and new legal regulations in order to maintain their competitive position,” says Andy Jones, Global Head of Business Unit PVC Additives at Baerlocher. “With our new LOW-VOC kickers, our latest innovation, we ensure that our customers' products meet the even higher demands in terms of sustainability”.
