Sonneborn products consistently set the standard for innovation. They offer greater solubility and unmatched consistency in reducing melt viscosity and economically extending and plasticizing polymer, adhesive and pressure-sensitive formulations across a wide range of industries.
Polymer manufacturers, molders and extruders around the globe have incorporated Sonneborn products for decades into their resin formulations. These products are also used as lubricants, plasticizers, processing aids, mold release agents, wetting agents, color diluents, and resin and catalyst carriers.
These highly refined white mineral oils, petrolatums, microcrystalline waxes and compressor lubricants are all formulated to meet the U.S. FDA’s direct food requirements and those of European food contact legislation. Meeting these requirements is critical to safely produce plastics for food packaging, food handling, toys, medical devices, personal hygiene articles and more.
