NOVOTEC®

Performance Additives

The NOVOTEC® Effect

NOVOTEC® proteins attach themselves to the most varied of surfaces. On these surfaces, the proteins align to form a stable, resistant hydrating layer. As water reaches the layer surface, the proteins attract the water molecules resulting in a closed hydrophilic protective coating. Utilized in industrial processes this effect protects surfaces and improves separating, lubricating and cooling production steps. NOVOTEC® protein solutions simplify, accelerate or optimize processes, improve quality, reduce costs and promote high environmental and health compatibility.

NOVOTEC® CL800 is a powerful additive for water-miscible metalworking fluids. These functional proteins can fully or partially replace mineral oil or synthetic lubricants and drastically reduce surface wear. While the lubricating oil film in conventional cooling lubricants prevents effective cooling, the NOVOTEC® effect optimizes cooling with a water-absorbing protein layer. Furthermore, with NOVOTEC® CL800, the machined metal parts remain clean and require less time-consuming cleaning.

  • Formation of a hydrated protein layer that provides excellent cooling and lubrication
  • Reduction of wear and residues
  • Helps contribute to an operator friendly metalworking fluid

NOVOTEC® CB800 is a powerful additive for detergents and cleaners. The NOVOTEC® proteins assist in cleaning and simultaneously form a water-attracting protective film on the surface, which simplifies subsequent cleanings (easy-to-clean effect). As a natural protein-based additive, NOVOTEC® CB800 provides the means to reduce the allergenic potential of formulations and significantly improve their skin friendliness. 

  • The proteins form thin hydrophilic protective layers on surfaces
  • Supports simpler and more effective cleaning at mild pH values
  • Longer cleaning intervals – thanks to the easy-to-clean effect

NOVOTEC® CR800 is a powerful additive for water-miscible mold release agents. Unlike conventional products, whose main components oil or wax can only be mixed with water with difficulty, NOVOTEC® CR800 proteins are completely water soluble. When applied, they form a water-absorbing film which cools the molds effectively. During the casting process, the proteins are thermally decomposed under controlled conditions, leaving only residues behind that can easily be removed with water. As a result, no cleaning is usually necessary before the further processing of the castings, considerably shortening cycle times. 

  • Hydrating protein layer for maximum cooling effect
  • Shorter cycle times as well as significant savings of water, waste water and chemicals
  • Clean surfaces on castings and molds without additional cleanin

NOVOTEC® ® CP800 is a powerful additive, that can be applied to paper-based materials, providing an impressive barrier against fats, oxygen and temperatures up to 220°C. These proteins are completely biodegradable, and paper coated with NOVOTEC® also remains recyclable.

Unlike many other biopolymers, this coating material is exceptionally easy to apply during paper manufacturing, simplifying operations at the paper plant. It dissolves readily in cold water without gelling, further enhancing its usability.

By utilizing NOVOTEC® CP800, you can achieve sustainable packaging solutions with enhanced protection, easy customization, and a reduced environmental impact.

  • Sustainable and effective barrier against fat
  • High Temperature Resistance
  • Paper coated with NOVOTEC® CP800 is biodegradable and recyclable
  • High compatibility with paper industry additives
