NITRIFLEX SBR RUBBER is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene which can be polymerized hot or cold. This material is used in adhesives (General purpose, PSA, laminating), sealants, caulks, and shoe soles. It is available in bale and granule. (1006, 1009 Grades) Performance The SB copolymers can be used in compounds that require a great deal of hardness and resistance to abrasion, tearing and bending. They are also ideal for use in contact adhesives, solvent based adhesives and PSA adhesives. Applications FootwearTiresProfilesHosesMicroporous soles

We offer a mixed portfolio of mercaptan and sulfur modified grades for critical applications requiring excellent dynamic properties , as well as, superb mechanical and heat resistance. Performance Due to its ability to resist oils and oxidation, this material can be used in a variety of applications. This material has a superior flame resistance because of its chlorine content. Polychloroprene is especially well-suited for rubber to metal bonding. Applications General Purpose GradesAdhesivesBelts & HosesTapes & Coatings

Vulcanized forms of chlorosulfonated polyethylene are highly resistant to the deteriorating effects of ozone, oxygen, weather, heat, oil and chemicals. They resist discoloration on exposure to light, and are widely used in light- colored products. CSM can be compounded to provide excellent mechanical properties. (Ex: high tensile strength and abrasion resistance) Performance Permanent bright colorsSuperb ozone and weather resistance, even in non-black productsHeat resistant to 150CResistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicalsIntermediate oil and solvent resistance depending on the chlorine levelElectrical insulating propertiesLow flammability characteristics (associated with chlorinated polymers)Excellent resistance to abrasion and mechanical abuseApplications Adhesives & CoatingsBelts & HosesWire & CableEscalator RailsRoof Membranes & Liners

NITRIFLEX NBRPVC compound is a homogenous blend of PVC with butadiene and acrylonitrile copolymers and stabilized with CaZn. These blends are recommended for applications which require good ozone, abrasion, and oil resistance. Performance NBRPVC (OZO) retains the advantageous characteristics of a nitrile elastomer that has high physical properties and oilfuel resistance. Moreover, the vinyl reinforcement enables the polymer to successfully withstand wear and weathering, particularly oxygen and ozone attack. Applications Printing roll covers (low hardness)Heat insulating hoseTanks and fittings in air conditionersHeating systems and refrigeration machinesHoses as colored gas tubing, firefighting hoseSoles for safety shoesIndustrial flooring

Although reclaim rubber does not have the same properties as virgin rubber, it does have tremendous opportunities in tire and non-tire applications. This price stable alternative hydrocarbon offers many advantages which include being used as a process aid, ensuring shorter mixing times, and enabling higher productivity. Performance Faster Mixing Cycle (i.e. less masticating with easy incorporation of fillers)Improved extrusion rate (up to 5- 10%)Improved extrusion quality with better dimensional controlReduction in power consumption due to less nerve of the compound with faster mixing and extrusionMinimum increase on air permeability as compared to other grades of reclaim rubberVirtually no reduction in hot air aging propertiesFast and uniform calendaring & extrusionAdditional absorption of filling materials and softenersImproves tackiness and holds it over a broader range of temperaturesLow swelling and shrinkage on extrusion and calendaringMinimizes blistering in the molding processLow volume cost

Phenolic Resin is used as a raw material for CR-based adhesives, high-grade paints, adhesives and metal coating formulations. It can also be used in the vulcanization of rubber products, and as a curing agent for butyl rubber, natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and silicon-butadiene rubber. Performance Phenolic resin easily penetrates and adheres to many organicinorganic fillers and reinforcements which is why it is an ideal candidate for a wide variety of uses. The ability of thermoset resin to withstand high temperature under mechanical load with minimal deformation or creep is one of its most important characteristics. It also provides an impervious shield to protect a variety of substrates from the corrosive effects of chemicals. Finally, phenolic resins demonstrate higher char yields than other plastic materials. They produce a low amount of smoke at a low level which is preferred by automotive and mass transit industries. Applications To produce chloroprene rubber adhesiveIn adhesives for shoes to increase heat-resistance temperature and adhesionTo produce enamel for external useLacquer for flooringAs a marine coatingAnti-rust paintFor water-based printing inkAs a material of thin film in anti-rust oil products

Keliren CPE resins can be formulated to produce high quality extruded, molded, and calendered products which require good compression set properties and heatoilchemical resistance. Performance Keliren CM compounds can be cross-linked by moisture, radiation, peroxide or thiadiazole cure systems.

NITRIFLEX POWDER** rubber provides all the advantages of the polymer found in bale & sheet form but offers better dispersion processing which helps to reduce the bottom-line cost of the finished product. It can be used in vulcanized compounds, as well as plastic modifiers, such as PVC, EVA, and ABS. **NitrilePVC Powder and SBR Powder are available. Performance This specialty type of NBR powder is used as a modifier for PVC and is suitable for injection molding and extrusion applications. This material is also used in production of PVC based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which has applications in the rubber replacement market and in friction products like brake linings, asbestos gaskets, etc. Applications DiaphragmsSealing RingsFuel HosesSealantsFootwear
