LANXESS offers a whole range of innovative products for the pharmaceutical industry.

Butyl Rubber®	Butyl rubber is a synthetic rubber produced by the polymerization of isobutene with a small amount of isoprene. It is impermeable to air and has many applications, ranging from inner tubes for tires to adhesives to sealants.
Bromobutyl Rubber	Bromobutyl rubber is a butyl rubber derivative obtained by reacting butyl rubber with bromine. It has increased cure reactivity, higher compatibility with unsaturated polymers and enhanced adhesion compared to butyl rubber.
Chlorobutyl 1240	Chlorobutyl rubber is a butyl rubber derivative obtained by reacting butyl rubber with chlorine. It has increased cure reactivity, higher compatibility with unsaturated polymers and enhanced adhesion compared to butyl rubber
Tributyl Phosphate	Tributyl phosphate is a very strong solvent used in the production of synthetic resins and natural rubber solutions.

Coagulant WS	Coagulant WS is a heat-sensitive rubber additive that promotes the creation of smooth latex films. By varying the amount of added Coagulant WS, it is possible to control the thickness of the films.
Lewatit® VP OC 1064	Lewatit VP OC 1064 is an adsorber resin that can be used to remove chlorinated and nitrated hydrocarbons, phenols, aromatic compounds, pesticides, detergents, colored compounds and other impurities from waste water.
Emulvin	Emulvin AS is a highly effective dispersing agent for preparing stable aqueous dispersions of water insoluble solid ingredients and is used in latex compounding. This product can be used also as a dispersing agent in the production of vulcanization pastes.
Vulkacit®	Vulkacit Merkapto and Vulkacit DM are intermediates for the manufacturing of antibiotics, Vulkacit 576 is used in pharmaceutical closures.

Diethylphosphite	Diethyl phosphite is a a synthesis chemical known for its phosphorylating effect.
Dimethylphosphite	Dimethylphosphite is a phosphorylating and reducing agent for chemical synthesis.
