Rubber Viscosity Modifier

Description

Properties

• Improves hardness
• Low viscosity improves processability
• Reduces mixing temperature
• Strong tackiness and adhesive properties
• Reduces processing temperature
• Functionalized grades available

Advantages

• Mixed with nature rubber or other non-polar rubber and used as PSA, helps to maintain a high adhesive strength and increase the initial tack.
• Due to the low glass transition temperature, it adapts a wider temperature range, especially in extreme cold weather conditions.
• It increased rubber products’ strength, hardness and elongation at break.
• It won’t be solvent extraction easily, so it can improve the aging resistance of rubber.

Applications

• Rubber products: tires, conveyor belts, rubber rollers, hose, shoe, seal, wire and cable.
• Adhesives: solvent, hot melt, pressure-sensitive adhesive, sealant, latex.
