Make Room for Nynas in Your Chemical Formula

Nynas, which produces naphthenic oils used in the manufacture of baby-diaper adhesives or printing inks, or as an active ingredient to prevent caking in synthetic fertilizers, takes pride in providing the best solutions for all its customers. Working under the slogan "Taking oil further," the company is determined to unlock the full potential of oil and has developed a business model based on close relationships with its customers, alongside research and development. With over 1,000 employees in Europe and South America, production facilities, and offices in more than 30 countries, Nynas supplies specialized naphthenic oils and bitumen to a broad customer base in the growing global market. Nynas supplies a wide range of specialty oils with high solvent power, excellent low-temperature properties, and a broad viscosity range. The company's quality oils are suitable for various applications. For example, Nynas oils are used in adhesives, foam suppressants, leather and textile chemicals, printing inks, wood-processing products, and in more than twenty applications. Adhesives and sealants represent Nynas's most important application area.

In addition to health and safety standards, environmental protection is also among the areas to which the company attaches importance. For example, all oils recommended for use in adhesives to be used on food labels fully comply with US and EU food safety regulations and hygiene standards.

Compared to alternative oils, the higher aniline point combined with lower viscosity index and pour point means that Nynas naphthenic oils can be sprayed and pumped at low temperatures. These properties also make Nynas oils more suitable for conveyor belts. As a company specialized in Nynas, it can supply oils with properties suited to the required formulation. For example, in anti-caking chemicals for NPK-type synthetic fertilizers, in solving problems that may be encountered in the production of dust-suppression chemicals, Nynas will provide advantages to its customers with the properties of its oils and its successful research and development team. Nynas naphthenic oils also have high dissolving power; with this property, Nynas oils can be effectively used in foam-inhibiting chemicals used in many sectors. This property is also a technical advantage in terms of the use of inks used in cold offset printing and mold-release active substances. High flash point is another important property that plays a special role in areas such as battery separators and industrial explosives. Nynas mineral oils are also used in flexible and rigid PVC. In flexible PVC, oil is used as a secondary plasticizer, while it can replace the primary plasticizer, traditionally a phthalate, at a rate of 10-15 percent. Health concerns regarding the use of phthalates have recently led to partial restrictions and the development of new phthalate-free plasticizers. Flexibility and the ability to adapt to new situations and/or regulations are important for Nynas in finding the best possible solutions for its customers. Through local sales activities and a global supply chain, Nynas can provide fast, efficient, and reliable solutions anywhere in the world.   Güney Devrim İldiri General Manager Nynas Naphthenics Oils
