Rubber Viscosity Modifier
Improves hardness
Low viscosity improves processability
Category: High-Performance Tackifying Agent & Thickener
Tags: 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.
