Rubber

DEUREX, the family-owned company is a leading supplier of synthetic and natural waxes. One of the company's success factors is the diversity in its product portfolio, both in terms of the chemistry and the delivery form of the waxes. The industries to which we supply our waxes and other additives internationally are as diverse as our own portfolio. Another important pillar is the permanent will to innovate. DEUREX has been a player in the wax sector at least since the invention of round micronized waxes.

We manufacture a range of rosin resins and hydrocarbon derivatives which are well established and proven in the personal care market as adhesion promoters, skin conditioners and film formers.

Rosin resins are used in depilatories, makeup, and hair-grooming products, where they function as tackifiers, skin conditioners, or emulsifying agents. Our products help make mascara and lipstick wearable for longer, make lipstick glossy, and help deodorants hold their fragrance.

Our products come from multiple sources. For example, our gum rosin is harvested from live pine trees using a negative carbon process; our hydrocarbon resin is petroleum-based; and our plasticisers and fragrance fixatives are plant-based.

Performance Additives, through its state-of-the-art manufacturing plants, produces rubber process aids and dithiocarbamate accelerators.

The Company is focused on renewable resources, such as the palm oil heavily used in its Malaysian-produced rubber process aids.
