KKPC KOSYN KBR 720 Polybutadiene Rubber (Low cis BR)

Subcategory: Elastomer, TS; Thermoset

Material Notes:
Polybutadiene Rubber (Low cis BR)

Characteristics: Low cis BR is different in cis content according to the production process and the catalyst. KKPC's low cis LBR has 35% cis content. LBR has high elasticity and reactivity containing about 14% vinyl bond structure. It is used in the tires of motorcycle, footwear, common industrial products, and also utilized as base polymer of HIPS (high impact polystyrene) which is widely used in cabinet of home appliances, interior decoration, and toys. Since these products have high Mooney viscosity and low solution viscosity, it's easier to control rubber particle size and reduce power consumption during processing.

Applications: Footwear, HIPS products, mechanical products

Additional Notes:
cis-1,4 Contents: 33.5%
Volatile Matter: 0.5%
Ash Content: 0.01%
Toluene insoluble gel: 0.01%
Gel Rank: A
