Rubber Viscosity Modifier

Improves hardness
Low viscosity improves processability

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.
