Lanxess successfully completed and commenced operation of its expanded Rhenodiv production line in Jhagadia. This expansion marks a significant enhancement in the production capabilities of the company’s Rhein Chemie business unit, enabling it to meet the increasing demand in the Indian Sub-continent and the wider Asian tire and rubber goods markets.

Equipped with cutting-edge technology and machinery, the new production line empowers Lanxess to manufacture high-quality technology tire release agents with greater efficiency. This facility adds to Lanxess’ existing production capacity, with another similar facility located in Argentina.

The production of high-performance tires and molded elastomer products hinges on the utilization of effective release agents. Ensuring process safety and minimizing scrap rates are paramount for efficient tire and molded elastomer production. Rhenodiv release agents stand out for being strictly water-based, solvent-free, and devoid of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aligning with environmental sustainability goals.

Lanxess’ Rhein Chemie business unit possesses the expertise, market insights, production proficiency, and comprehensive service offerings to support its customers across every stage of the process chain.
