Bayprene
Bayprene is a high-quality, synthetic rubber polymer belonging to the class of nitrile butadiene rubbers (NBR). It is widely used for its excellent resistance to oils, fuels, chemicals, and abrasion, making it ideal for sealing, gasketing, hoses, and industrial applications where durability and chemical resistance are required. Bayprene exhibits good mechanical properties, high tensile strength, and resistance to swelling and degradation, especially in petroleum-based environments. It is commonly supplied as solid rubber sheets, molded parts, or raw polymer for compounding.
Bitumen Primer
Bitumen Primer is a high-performance, solvent-based or water-based coating designed to prepare and seal surfaces before the application of bituminous waterproofing or roofing systems. It enhances adhesion by binding dust, reducing surface porosity, and creating a tacky base layer for membranes, felts, and asphalt-based applications. Bitumen Primer is quick-drying, highly penetrative, and applicable to a wide variety of substrates including concrete, masonry, metal, and wood. It plays a critical role in extending the durability and effectiveness of waterproofing systems in construction and industrial environments.
Clear Emulsion
Clear Emulsion is a transparent or translucent mixture of two immiscible liquids—typically oil and water—stabilized by emulsifying agents to form a stable, homogenous system. This product is widely used in cosmetics and personal care, pharmaceuticals, and specialty industrial applications due to its lightweight texture, ease of absorption, and aesthetic appeal. Clear emulsions offer a visually appealing, non-greasy feel with the advantages of both oil and water phases, delivering moisturizing, protective, and active ingredient-carrying benefits. Their clarity distinguishes them from traditional creamy emulsions, making them popular in modern skincare and cosmetic formulations.
