Optimized crosslinking to improve plastics

1,7-octadiene is an unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid with two double bonds. Thanks to these bonds, ODE can be used as a polymer crosslinker and will improve the performance, of the end-plastics, especially their mechanical strength and chemical resistance. 

A high-quality component for durable materials

ODE can be used as a crosslinker or an intermediate for fine chemicals. Many options are possible, thanks to its high reactivity. ODE enhances the durability, stability and quality of the end-product.
