Building Blocks - C12 Rings, C8 Rings

High Performance Polymers offers the world’s widest range of technically available cyclic C8 and C12 building blocks.

All our products are based exclusively on the dimerization and trimerization of butadiene, from which the product families of C8 and C12 rings are developed.

These are widely used in the areas of

• coatings and plastics
• fragrances
• flavors
• flame retardation
• light protection
• solvents, and as
• chemical intermediates

The latest addition to our family of C12 products is cyclododecene, produced by a new, patented process.

We are continually improving our existing production processes to consolidate our leading position in the large-scale production of ring-shaped C8 and C12 synthesis components.
