Innovoh® ultrafine calcium hydroxides are the market leading cure activator and acid scavenging solutions for fluoroelastomers.
We produce and refine all of our raw materials on site, giving us exceptional control over the quality of our final product.
Innovoh® helps compounders to save money, reduce quality failures and increase production output. That’s why it has become the standard for the world’s leading FKM fluoroelastomer producers.
Our commitment to constant innovation means that we’ve made constant improvements to the Innovoh ® formula, making it the powerful but easy-to-use solution it is today.
Renowned rubber consultants and test house Artis tested Innovoh against two of the best known competitors. Innovoh performs best overall, with significantly higher cross link density and much better dispersion. Download our technical report and see for yourself.
