The automotive industry is evolving at a rapid pace. Electrification, light weighting, requirements for higher recycled plastics content, increasingly complex electronic systems—and Kisuma is at the forefront of innovation. Kisuma holds the keys to helping the automotive industry navigate these and any other obstacles down the road.
Giving OEM producers tools to select alternatives for lighter and lower cost materials
Providing plastics thermal stability required for high-heat applications
Our high-purity materials provide the best electrical resistivity
We are a key supplier to many automotive compounders, especially those that produce injection molded parts with halogenated or organophosphorus flame retardants. DHT™-4 products are used to stabilize the formulations in materials such as nylon or polyolefin, helping to avoid corrosion of molding equipment and the release of toxic smoke.
DHT™-4 contributes to thermal and chemical resistance of synthetic rubber parts such as fuel hose inner liners and seals. Crucially, these additives do not cause swelling in contact with moisture as they do not contribute to water-carryover.
Products in the DHT™-4 range can function as stabilizers of raw materials or finished products. For paint coatings, these additives provide anti-corrosion, shelf-life extension, improved weatherability, and stain and blooming reduction benefits.
Kisuma supplies stabilizing additives designed to assist very demanding applications, including for high-temperature wire and cables typically found under vehicle bonnets. Key products for automotive cables include the ALCAMIZER™ and DHT™-4 ranges to stabilize flame retardants, and the metal deactivating KW2200.
