Building & Construction
SONGXTEND® 1301 was developed to protect polymeric flame retardants in XPS applications.
Automotive compounding
SONGXTEND® 2124 was especially designed to meet the demand for glass-fiber re-enforced polypropylene which further reduces wall thickness and makes lighter design possible.
Automotive interiors
SABOSTAB® UV 228 50PP and SABOSTAB® UV 229 50PP with their excellent polyolefin stability and compatibility were developed to meet the automotive industry's stringent demands in terms of low VOC, fogging and blooming, as well as total carbon emission.
Agricultural films
SABOSTAB® UV 216 provides protection and extends the life of agricultural films, even when high levels of pesticides are used. SONGWON's products are also used in the production of greenhouse and mulch films which both reduce water consumption levels.
Coatings manufacturing
SONGSORB® CS 400 liquid triazine UV absorber was developed to allow the formulation of low-to-zero VOC coatings, while enhancing durability and substrate protection.
Recycling
SONGXTEND® 2721 stabilizer improves the long-term thermal stability (LTTS) of recycled polypropylene compounds and was designed to meet the stringent European automotive OEMs' LTTS requirements for interior or under-the-hood applications.
